The invention relates to a method for utilizing enhanced pretreatment to promote the anaerobic digestion of excess sludge, belonging to the technical field of solid waste treatment. The method comprises the following steps of gravity concentrating excess sludge in urban sewage treatment plants, and then adding certain amount of sodium hypochlorite, stirring the sodium hypochlorite fast with the excess sludge, and then feeding the mixture into an ultrasonic reactor to perform ultrasonic treatment. With the coaction of the ultrasonic and the sodium hypochlorite, the bacterial cell wall structure in the sludge is damaged, the inclusion of the cell is discharged, the content of soluble organic substance in the water is increased, after certain time of treatment, the sludge is fed into an anaerobic digestion reactor to perform subsequent medium temperature anaerobic digestion; the biomass gases generated by the anaerobic digestion are comprehensively utilized through a gas collection device. The concentration of SCOD (soluble chemical oxygen demand) in the sludge liquid phase is improved by about 27 times after the treatment, the biomass gas yield is increased by 54.4%, and the content of methane in the biomass gas is improved by about 10%, so that the energy consumption of the ultrasonic treatment is reduced greatly. With the adoption of the method provided by the invention, for the sewage treatment plants with different sizes, a good effect can be obtained by performing corresponding reconstructions on the existing treatment facilities.
