•KBM-1 efficiently removed ammonium-N (0.004 kg N m−3d−1) and nitrate-N (0.005 kg N m−3d−1) from RAS solid wastes.•KBM-1 rapidly valorized the wastes into organic acids (230 mg L−1, 3.5 mM, 0.018 kg m−3 d−1) after two days.•The valorized products can be reused as an electron donor source for denitri...
