For the last 100 years, the main focus of biological wastewater treatment has been the use of activated sludge. In these systems, aeration, and bacteria selection are critical to maintaining the right environment to have light and fluffy floc. Over the years, various configurations have been developed to achieve lower levels of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) using multiple tanks, biological selectors, and chemical addition with further clarification and filtration. All in all, activated sludge in all its variations is the norm in the industry.
The advantages of aerobic granular sludge are excellent settleability and robustness of the biological colony. The settleability of the granules is more than 5 times faster than a conventional activated sludge floc due to the dense nature of the colony. Having a denser, better settling sludge allows plants to be designed with smaller treatment basins, reducing capital costs, and providing greater sustainability given more efficient operation. The unique structure of the granular sludge also allows for more efficient simultaneous removal of ammonia, nitrate, and phosphorus versus conventional activated sludge processes.
