In　order　to　test　the　start-up　and　maintain　method　for　short-cut　advanced　nitrogen　removal　process　at　low　temperature,　this　study　used　a　pilot-scale　SBR　process　with　a　working　volume　of　7.0　m3　to　treat　domestic　wastewater.　Real-time　control　strategy　based　on　blower　frequency　(BF)　and　pH　was　applied　to　control　the　pilot-scale　SBR　process.　Results　showed　that　short-cut　nitrification　process　achieved　within　50　days　at　low　temperature　(11-16　degrees　C),　and　the　nitrite　accumulation　rate　(NAR)　of　SBR　process　increased　from　19.8%　to　90%.　Short-cut　nitrification　process　in　pilot-scale　SBR　was　maintained　for　as　long　as　550　days　in　the　temperature　range　of　9-28　degrees　C,　and　NAR　was　maintained　above　95%.　Meanwhile,　the　total　nitrogen　(TN)　in　effluent　was　3　mg　x　L(-1)　and　the　TN　removal　efficiency　was　above　95%.　Therefore,　it　is　feasible　to　start-up　and　maintain　the　short-cut　advanced　nitrogen　removal　process　under　low　temperature　condition　in　the　SBR　process.
