To explore the effect of different size filler ratio on nitrogen and carbon removal in double sludge system.In two sequential batch bioreactors(SBR),15%polyurethane sponge filler was added to form two double sludge systems.The ex-perimental groups with large size(5 cm)and small size(1.66 cm)filler volume ratio of 1∶2 and 2∶1 were set up respec-tively to treat the actual domestic sewage.The results showed that the double sludge system with the ratio of large size and small size filler volume of 1∶2 had the best nitrogen and carbon removal effect.The average removal rate of COD,NH4+-N and TN and the utilization rate of denitrification carbon source were 86.9%,96.07%,70.74%and 26.67%,respectively.In addition,in the system with a large proportion of large-size fillers,the biofilm cannot be fully attached inside the fillers,so it is recommended to increase the proportion of small-size fillers in actual operation to efficiently complete biological ni-trogen removal.
