In this research, the UASB-MFC dual sensors system was established and treatment the brewery wastewater. The COD removal rate attain about 90% and the NH4+-N concentration less than 15 mg/L, MFCs has a voltage range of 0.34-0.42 V. Meanwhile, as the biosensor for coupling system, MFCs can be used to make simultaneous monitor COD and TVFA. The potential distribution can in-situ accelerate the reattachment of micro-organisms, which shorten the recovery time to 55% of the original. The long-term performance of MFCs were tested by electrochemical methods and found that the degradation of biosensors was mainly caused by the precipitation of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the cathode surface and affected by concentration. More importantly, cleaning the electrode by an self-enhanced method without external assistance ECS (Electrodes Connection Switching) can improve the MFCs performance to 83.2 %-84.6%. Dual sensors system in UASB gives a novel possibility for UASB-MFC sensor self-sustaining in a long-term. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
