Biological Aerated Filter

The biological aerated filter, BAF, was a new process developed around 1990s based on conventional biological filter and filters for potable water treatment, which was applied as tertiary treatment process at first and then developed as secondary treatment process. This process combines biological oxidation and filtration together in one structure, which eliminates the need for a secondary sedimentation.
