A feasibility test of a 17m3-pilot-scale sewage treatment system was carried out by continuous feeding of raw municipal sewage under ambient temperature conditions. The system consisted of a UASB and an aerated fixed bed reactor. Some of the effluent from the fixed bed reactor was returned to the UASB influent in order to provide a sulfate source. The total BOD of 148–162mgl−1in the influent was reduced to a more desirable 11–25mgl−1in the final effluent. The levels of methane-producing activity from acetate and H2/CO2gas at 10°C were only 2% and 0% of those at 35°C, respectively. On the other hand, the sulfate-reducing activity levels of the UASB sludge were relatively high at 10°C, for example, 18% for acetate and 9% for H2/CO2gas, compared to the activity levels at 35°C. Therefore, BOD oxidization by sulfate reduction in the UASB was greater than that by methane production under low temperature conditions. This sulfate-reducing activity tended to be proportional to the copy number of adenosine-5′-phosphosulfate (APS) reductase genes in DNA extracted from the sludge.
