IFAS combines the treatment benefits of activated sludge with the inherent stability and ease of operation of attached growth film systems, increasing capacity and/or level of treatment. Adding attached growth media to a suspended growth biomass reactor provides additional biomass for increased treatment without increasing the clarifier solids loading. Media can be added to either aerobic or anoxic zones for kinetic optimization.

IFAS features

• attached growth and suspended biomass
• maximizes biomass concentration
• reduces sludge production and excellent settling characteristics 

Applicable technologies:

• WavTex™ (woven fixed media system for IFAS and SFF applications)

• Solar Powered WavTex™ (self-contained fixed media module powered by solar)

• Webitat™ (fixed media system with BioWeb™ for enhanced biomass growth)

• BioBloc™ (modular fixed-film units for lagoons, tanks, and ammonia removal)
