What Does BAF Stand For?

BAF stands for Biological Aerated Filter

BAF, or Biological Aerated Filter, is a wastewater treatment technology that combines biological and physical processes to remove pollutants from water. It utilizes a media structure, often consisting of gravel or plastic, where aerobic bacteria thrive. These microorganisms break down organic matter and nutrients in the presence of aeration, effectively purifying the water. BAF systems are known for their efficiency, compact design, and ability to handle varying flow rates and load concentrations, making them suitable for both industrial and municipal applications.
