Abstract:To solve the problem of large fluctuation of effluent quality from modified UNITANK process in a Suzhou municipal sewage treatment plant in winter, periodical operation characteristics of the modified UNITANK was analyzed by the model. The high-throughput sequencing of Illumina MiSeq was used to analyze the microbial community structure of activated sludge in the modified UNITANK in winter. The results showed denitrification was sufficient in the anoxic zone, uniform aeration in the edge tank led to inadequate nitrification in the front and middle of the edge tank, ammonia and soluble phosphate in the periodic effluent gradually increased. The analysis of microbial community structure indicated that the microbial diversity was higher than other seasons, which was related to the unique process operation mode. Saprospiraceae, Nitrosomonas and Nitrospira were the dominant bacteria in the activated sludge in winter, which ensured the performance on the biological removal of nitrogen and phosphorus in the modified UNITANK process. Key words:modified UNITANK process/ winter/ model/ community structure/ operating characteristic.
