7 Disadvantages Of Using An Activated Sludge Process For Your Municipality Or Company
2/2/2021
Biological treatment processes are an important component in many wastewater treatment systems. They are one of the most efficient and effective ways of reducing organic material in wastewater. There are quite a few of them that have been researched and used over several decades. However, one of the most widely used conventional biological treatment process is the activated sludge process (ASP). Many sewage treatment plants use ASP in their secondary treatment steps due to the human and animal organic matter in the inlet waters of wastewater treatment plants.

Pros & Cons Of A Moving Bed Bioreactor
2/1/2021
A moving bed bioreactor is a biological sewage treatment process. In many instances, wastewater is full of organic matter that can be difficult to filter out by physical or chemical means. Thus, one of the best methods of dealing with organic matter is treating it with a biological process. The basic idea behind biological water treatment processes is using micro-organisms to break down sewage.
