What Does IFAS Stand For?

IFAS stands for Integrated Fixed Film Activated Sludge

Integrated Fixed Film Activated Sludge (IFAS) is a hybrid wastewater treatment technology that combines traditional activated sludge processes with fixed film media. This innovative approach allows for enhanced biological treatment by promoting the growth of microorganisms on fixed media within the aeration basin. IFAS systems improve nutrient removal efficiencies, increase treatment capacity, and provide flexibility in operation, making them effective for managing varying wastewater conditions while minimizing footprint and operational costs.
