What Does EGSB Stand For?

EGSB stands for Expanded Granular Sludge Bed

Expanded Granular Sludge Bed (EGSB) refers to an advanced wastewater treatment technology that enhances the biological degradation of organic matter. It utilizes a bed of granular sludge, which is expanded through the upward flow of water, allowing for improved contact between the wastewater and microorganisms. This process increases treatment efficiency, reduces retention time, and enhances the overall performance of the biological treatment, making it suitable for high-strength wastewater applications. EGSB systems are particularly valued for their compact design and ability to achieve high loading rates while minimizing sludge production.
