The process can be operated as either a fixed-film only or an integrated fixed-film activated sludge (IFAS) process.

• Capable of using fine bubble aeration
• Easy retrofit of existing activated sludge plants
• Enhanced nitrogen removal capabilities
• Less susceptible to upset from hydraulic and organic shock loads
  

Presentation on the benefits of the AGAR process.

What this means to you:

• Improved oxygen transfer; reduced operating cost
• Reduced maintenance; elimination of plugging; reduced cost
• Allows for expansion/upgrade without additional tankage; reduced cost
• Nitrogen removal without increased hydraulic retention time
• Fixed-film biomass is attached to carriers designed to remain in the aeration basin even under hydraulic upset conditions; due to biofilm layers on the media, toxic upsets typically do not affect all active biomass and recovery is much quicker than with suspended growth systems
