Sludge　returned　from　the　secondary　sedimentation　tank　of　a　sewage　treatment　plant　is　inoculated　into　two　sequencing　batch　reactors　(SBR):　R1　and　R2.　Simulated　wastewater　and　actual　domestic　sewage　are　used　as　the　influents　of　R1　and　R2,　respectively,　in　order　to　study　the　impact　of　the　influent　water　quality　on　the　formation　at　normal　temperature　(20-30)　and　the　stable　operation　of　the　system　when　the　temperature　changes.　The　results　show　that　both　R1　and　R2　start　successfully　with　25　d　and　42　d,　respectively.　The　average　size　of　the　aerobic　granular　sludge　in　R1　and　R2　is　1200　μm　and　750　μm　when　the　sludge　granules　stabilize.　The　average　concentrations　of　COD,　TP,　and　TN　in　the　R1　and　R2　effluent　are　22.53,　0.48,　and　7.70　mg•L-1　and　49.73,　0.49,　and　14.55　mg•L-1,　respectively,　with　average　removal　rates　of　90.60%,　90.34%,　and　87.85%　and　79.74%,　88.59%,　and　79.25%.　When　the　temperature　drops　to　5-16,　the　granular　sludge　in　R1　disintegrates,　the　removal　rates　of　COD　and　TP　are　basically　unchanged,　the　average　concentration　of　TN　in　the　effluent　increases　to　29.03　mg•L-1,　the　average　removal　rate　decreases　to　48.81%,　and　the　denitrification　performance　is　suppressed.　The　granular　sludge　in　R2　remains　stable;　the　average　concentrations　of　COD,　TP,　and　TN　in　the　effluent　are　14.31,　0.50,　and　12.24　mg•L-1,　and　the　average　removal　rates　are　92.42%,　93.37%,　and　86.28%　respectively.　The　effluent　reaches　the　IA　standard　of　the　＇Discharge　Standard　of　Pollutants　for　Municipal　Wastewater　Treatment　Plant＇.　Both　the　simulated　wastewater　and　actual　domestic　sewage　can　cultivate　aerobic　granular　sludge　successfully,　but　the　aerobic　granular　sludge　in　the　domestic　sewage　is　more　compact　in　structure,　effectively　suppresses　the　expansion　of　filamentous　bacteria　when　the　temperature　drops　to　5-16,　and　is　more　resistant　to　changes.　©　2019,　Science　Press.　All　right　reserved.
