    The document compares the activated sludge process and trickling filter processes for treating sewage. The activated sludge process uses suspended growth while the trickling filter uses attached growth. The activated sludge process requires more skilled supervision and is more flexible but has higher installation and operational costs. In contrast, the trickling filter requires less skilled supervision and has lower costs, but is less flexible and can cause nuisance and fly problems. Both processes provide the same level of sewage purification, and the choice depends on local conditions and finances.
