Granular aerobic biomass (GAS) is a modern biological wastewater treatment technology. Unlike conventional activated sludge, which forms loose “flakes,” AGS forms dense granules that act as small biological reactors where organic pollutants are degraded and nitrogen and phosphorus are removed.
AGS systems typically operate in a single tank through cycles of filling, aeration, settling, and discharge. Because the granules settle quickly, the process is stable and requires less space.
Main advantages over conventional wastewater treatment plants:
– Higher nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency
– Smaller land footprint
– Lower sludge production
– Greater stability during load fluctuations
The AS-GranBio project is being implemented with financial support from the Slovak Official Development Assistance Program SlovakAid.
