What Does AUSB Stand For?

AUSB stands for Aerobic Upflow Sludge Blanket

AUSB, or Aerobic Upflow Sludge Blanket, is an advanced wastewater treatment technology that combines aerobic biological treatment with a unique upflow process. In this system, influent wastewater flows upward through a dense blanket of activated sludge, promoting efficient microbial activity and solid-liquid separation. AUSB enhances pollutant removal, reduces hydraulic retention time, and yields high-quality effluent while minimizing the footprint of conventional treatment methods. It is particularly effective for treating high-strength wastewater and is increasingly utilized in both municipal and industrial applications.
