If the technology of anaerobic ammonium oxidation(ANAMMOX) can substitute the mainstream technology of municipal wastewater treatment plant, the energy of municipal wastewater treatment will be decreased significantly. Thus, anaerobic baffled reactor(ABR) was used to build carbon system, shortcut nitrification system and anaerobic ammonia oxidation system. And the three systems were coupled to shortcut nitrification-anaerobic ammonia oxidation reactor to treat municipal wastewater. The results showed that the average effluent COD concentration of carbon removal system was 80 mg·L-1 when the hydraulic retention time of carbon removal system was 4.5 h. And the subsequent shortcut nitrification system would not be adversely affected by the effluent COD. Finally, the average effluent total nitrogen concentration was 10 mg·L-1, with total nitrogen volume load of ANAMMOX system of 0.36 kg·(m3·d)-1. When the dissolved oxygen was controlled between 1 to 2 mg·L-1, the nitrite accumulation rate could be maintained around 90%, ensuring the stable operation of the subsequent anaerobic ammonia oxidation system. The nitrogen of municipal wastewater could be stable and efficiently removed by the shortcut nitrification -ANAMMOX integration ABR with temperature of 30℃ and dissolved oxygen of 1-2 mg·L-1.
