What Does AFSB Stand For?

AFSB stands for Anaerobic Fluidized Sludge Blanket

The Anaerobic Fluidized Sludge Blanket (AFSB) is an advanced wastewater treatment technology that utilizes a fluidized bed of anaerobic microorganisms to efficiently treat organic waste. In this system, a blanket of granular sludge is maintained in an upward flow of wastewater, promoting optimal contact between the sludge and contaminants. This process enhances the degradation of organic materials while reducing the production of excess sludge, resulting in a more sustainable and compact treatment solution. AFSB is particularly effective in applications where high organic loading rates and reduced energy consumption are desired.
