Description
What is a High Strength FAST wastewater treatment plant and how does it work?
HighStrengthFAST® is an advanced wastewater treatment system developed by Biomicobics. This treatment plant uses state-of-the-art technology to accelerate the process of organic matter decomposition and efficiently remove pollutants. With FAST® technology, you get a highly effective wastewater treatment plant that meets the highest quality standards.
The wastewater treatment system that uses the Fixed Activated Sludge (FAST) process to break down organic matter and nutrients in wastewater.
A treatment tank containing the HighStrengthFAST module receives wastewater from the facility and is usually placed downstream of a primary settling tank or septic tank. The HighStrengthFAST module contains fixed media blocks and a patented air lifting device placed inside a rectangular casing.
HighStrengthFAST media is selected for solids loads and blowers are chosen for intensive aeration.

How does the fixed activated sludge WWTP wastewater treatment work?
The FAST (Fixed Activated Sludge Treatment) system is an advanced technology for WWTP wastewater treatment using a fixed activated sludge process. This method combines the principles of biofilm and activated sludge systems to efficiently treat both domestic and industrial wastewater. Here’s how it works:
- Wastewater intake: Wastewater enters a treatment tank where there are fixed media, usually plastic, which serve as a surface for the adhesion and growth of microorganisms.
- Biofilm formation: In these fixed media a biofilm develops, a layer of microorganisms that adheres firmly. This biofilm decomposes the organic matter present in the wastewater. The advantage of this system is that the microorganisms are attached, which allows maintaining a high concentration of biomass in the reactor without the risk of being washed away with the water flow.
- Oxygenation: To facilitate the decomposition process, the system needs oxygen. Blowers located above ground level, which is the only moving part in the treatment process, introduce air into the air lift, resulting in a robust recirculation of oxygenated water throughout the submerged medium. This promotes the metabolic activity of aerobic microorganisms in the biofilm.
- Phase separation: As wastewater passes through the biofilm media, microorganisms break down contaminants. The treated water then flows out of the tank, while the solids (sludge) can be periodically removed and further treated or disposed of safely.
- Sludge treatment and disposal: Excess solids settle to the bottom of the tank, where they are stored for intermittent disposal. These solids can be further treated by aerobic or anaerobic digestion, dewatering, and other methods prior to disposal or reuse.
