“Activated sludge” is a mass of microorganisms that digest organic material in wastewater. The microorganisms clean the wastewater by digesting organic materials and other contaminants. Wastewater remains in aeration basins for about three hours to allow time for the microorganisms to grow and consume the bacteria.
