Municipal wastewater collected in areas with moderate climate is subjected to a gradual temperature decrease from around 20 degrees C in summer to about 10 degrees C in winter. A labscale moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) with carrier material (K3 from AnoxKaldnes) was used to test the tolerance of the overall partial nitritation/anammox process to this temperature gradient. A synthetic influent, containing only ammonium and no organic carbon was used to minimize denitrification effects. After stable reactor operation at 20 degrees C, the temperature was slowly reduced by 2 C per month and afterward held constant at 10 degrees C. Along the temperature decrease, the ammonium conversion dropped from an average of 40 g(N) m(-3) d(-1) (0.2 g(N) kg(Tss) h(-1)) at 20 degrees C to about 15 g(N) m(-3) d(-1) (0.07 g(N) kg(Tss) h(-1)) at 10 degrees C, while the effluent concentration was kept
