The Integrated Fixed-Film Activated Sludge (IFAS) process is typically installed as a retrofit solution for conventional activated sludge systems that are at or beyond capacity.
IFAS upgrades offer an extremely cost-effective retrofit solution to municipal wastewater plant expansion, taking full advantage of existing systems, equipment, process knowledge, training, and operator skills. The technology is compatible with plug flow and complete mix configurations; IFAS hybrid processes are designed for complete compatibility with fine bubble aeration systems, providing demonstrated long-term operational cost savings.
