Yes, activated sludge forms a lacy network of floc mass that can entrap various materials, including not only food sources but also non-biodegradable substances and inert particles present in the wastewater. This entrapment allows for the removal and treatment of these materials during the sludge treatment process.

The activated sludge process is commonly used to treat sewage. In this process, microorganisms are added to break down organic matter in the sewage, forming a sludge that settles out, leaving cleaner water behind. The cleaned water is then further treated before being discharged.

Both Lansing, MI and Howell, MI have used activated sludge wastewater treatment. However, the first experimental plant in the US was built in Milwaukee (Wisconsin) in 1915.
