What Does ASE Stand For?
ASE stands for Activated Sludge Effluent
ASE, or Activated Sludge Effluent, refers to the treated wastewater that results from the activated sludge process in wastewater treatment facilities. This process employs microbial activity to break down organic matter, converting it into a stable effluent that meets environmental discharge standards. ASE is characterized by its reduced biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and lower levels of suspended solids, making it suitable for release into water bodies or for further treatment and reuse. Proper management of ASE is crucial for environmental protection and resource recovery.
