Scope note: Stage of effluent treatment in which material of a biodegradable nature is used, which can be classified as aerobic and anaerobic. In this step, it is used for the removal, via biological action, of the material in solution of a biodegradable nature. Thus, it is characteristic of all treatment processes by the action of microorganisms, and can be classified as aerobic and anaerobic. One of the most widely used modalities is the activated sludge process, which can be classified as an aerobic treatment, growth in suspension in the liquid mass and with biomass retention.
