Activated sludge consists of many naturally occurring aerobic microorganisms mostly in the form of bacteria, protozoa, and fungi (biomass). The biomass uses the BOD5 in wastewater as their food source. ## Capillary Flow Porometry - [Capillary Flow Porometry](https://ecologixsystems.com/wastewater-glossary/capillary-flow-porometry): Capillary Flow Porometry or Bubble Point Method is used to determine q required pore size for filtration media. ## Clarifiers - [Clarifiers](https://ecologixsystems.com/wastewater-glossary/clarifiers): Clarifiers are settling tanks built with mechanical means for continuous removal of solids being deposited by sedimentation. A clarifier is generally used to remove solid particulates or suspended solids from liquid for clarification and (or) thickening. Concentrated impurities, discharged from the bottom of the tank are known as sludge, while the particles that float to the surface of the liquid are called scum. ## Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) - [Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)](https://ecologixsystems.com/wastewater-glossary/dissolved-air-flotation): Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a water treatment process that clarifies wastewater (or other waters) by the removal of suspended matter such as oil or solids. The removal is achieved by dissolving air in the water or wastewater under pressure and then releasing the air at atmospheric pressure in a flotation tank or basin. The released air forms tiny bubbles which adhere to the suspended matter causing the suspended matter to float to the surface of the water where it may then be removed by a skimming device. Dissolved air flotation is very widely used in treating the industrial wastewater effluents from oil refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants, natural gas processing plants, paper mills, general water treatment and similar industrial facilities. A very similar process known as Induced Gas Flotation (IGF) and Dissolved Gas Flotation (DGF) are also used for wastewater treatment in the oil industry where atmospheric air is substituted with Nitrogen gas to reduce the risk of explosion. Froth flotation is commonly used in the processing of mineral ores. ## Electrodialysis (ED) - [Electrodialysis (ED)](https://ecologixsystems.com/wastewater-glossary/eclectrodialysis): Electrodialysis (ED) is a membrane process used to transport salt ions from one solution to another.

Sedimentation is the deposition by settling of a suspended material. ## Flocculation - [Flocculation](https://ecologixsystems.com/wastewater-glossary/flocculation): Flocculation, in the field of chemistry, is a process wherein colloids come out of suspension in the form of floc or flake; either spontaneously or due to the addition of a clarifying agent. The action differs from precipitation in that, prior to flocculation, colloids are merely suspended in a liquid and not actually dissolved in a solution. In the flocculated system, there is no formation of a cake, since all the flocs are in the suspension. ## Flow Monitoring - [Flow Monitoring](https://ecologixsystems.com/wastewater-glossary/flow-monitoring): The measurement of flow is one of the primary functions in water treatment processes. Flow is defined as the amount of fluid (water) going past a certain reference point in a specific period of time. It is measured in units of volume per unit of time. ## Ion Exchange - [Ion Exchange](https://ecologixsystems.com/wastewater-glossary/ion-exchange): Ion exchange (IE) is a water treatment method used to remove unwanted dissolved impurities from water and other liquid solutions. The process by which this is accomplished is through the exchange of ions from the contaminant with the ions from a desirable substance. These ions contain a positive electrical charge called a cation or a negative charge called an anion. The ions exchanged must be have the same type (+ or -) of electrical charge in order to maintain the neutral charge of the water. ## Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) - [Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR)](https://ecologixsystems.com/wastewater-glossary/mbbr): An MBBR system is a continuously operating, non-clogging biofilm reactor with low head loss, a high specific biofilm surface area, and no requirement for periodic backwashing. ## Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Technology - [Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Technology](https://ecologixsystems.com/wastewater-glossary/mbr): Membrane bioreactors (MBR) are systems that are highly effective in removal of organic, inorganic and biological contaminants from a wastewater stream. The system combines membrane filtration with a bioreactor as the title suggests. The system utilizes membranes submerged in the bioreactor with coarse bubble aeration to produce the mixing and reduce fouling. The process differs from a traditional wastewater treatment plant in that separation is not done by sedimentation in a secondary clarification tank but instead by membrane filtration. ## pH Adjustment - [pH Adjustment](https://ecologixsystems.com/wastewater-glossary/ph-adjustment): pH is a measure of the how acidic or basic water is, with a range from 0 to 14. More exactly, it is the measurement (negative logarithm) of hydrogen ion concentration H+. The scale ranges from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (most basic). The term pH refers to "pondus hydrogenii" or power of hydrogen. ## Recommended Allowable Limits for Flowback/Produced Water - [Recommended Allowable Limits for Flowback/Produced Water](https://ecologixsystems.com/wastewater-glossary/produced-water-allowable-limits): The recommended allowable limits below are for the treated flowback and produced water. ## Reverse Osmosis explained and usage - [Reverse Osmosis explained and usage](https://ecologixsystems.com/wastewater-glossary/reverse-osmosis): The phenomenon of water molecules spontaneously migrating through a permeable membrane being used to separate a dilute solution from a concentrated solution until the concentration in both is uniform is called osmosis.
