Biological Treatment:
Activated Sludge Systems
What Is
Activated Sludge?
The activated sludge process is a
biological wastewater treatment process that uses
microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, to
speed up decomposition of organic matter. Activated sludge is an
aerobic process requiring oxygen for treatment. As the
microorganisms grow and reproduce, waste materials are removed.
Applications
Although the activated sludge process was
originally developed for treatment of domestic wastewater, it
has been successfully used to treat industrial wastewater. ETS
can provide lagoon or tank-based activated sludge systems in a
variety of configurations custom-engineered to the application
in many industries, including:
， Bakeries
， Beverage production facilities
， Breweries and Wineries
， Chemical plants
， Dairies
， Food processing plants
， Meat and poultry processing plants
， Pharmaceutical plants
， Pulp and paper mills
， Rendering plants
， Textile mills
