Granular sludge disintegration and washing out pose a challenge to up-flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactor treating methanolic wastewater. Herein, in-situ bioelectrocatalysis (BE) was integrated into UASB (BE-UASB) reactor to alter microbial metabolic behaviors and enhance the re-granulation process. BE-UASB reactor exhibited the highest methane (CH₄) production rate of 388.0 mL/L_reactor/d and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal of 89.6 % at 0.8 V. Sludge re-granulation was strengthened with particle size over 300 µm of up to 22.4%. Bioelectrocatalysis stimulated extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) secretion and formation of granules with rigid [-EPS-cell-EPS-] matrix by enhancing the proliferation of key functional microorganisms (Acetobacterium, Methanobacterium, and Methanomethylovorans) and diversifying metabolic pathways. Particularly, a high Methanobacterium richness (10.8%) drove the electroreduction of CO₂ into CH₄ and reduced its emissions (52.8%). This study provides a novel bioelectrocatalytic strategy for controlling granular sludge disintegration, which will facilitate the practical application of UASB in methanolic wastewater treatment.
