•Effects of three metabolic uncouplers were evaluated in lab-scale A2O process.•Differences on sludge reduction of three metabolic uncouplers was slight.•Three uncouplers slightly lowered wastewater treatment efficiencies about 1.1–8.7%.•Three uncouplers increased sludge SVI about 69.9–80.6%.•Possib...
