Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS) treatment is considered as a promising alternative to conventional Activated Sludge Process (ASP). The major advantage of AGS is lower Sludge Volume Index (SVI) and higher settling velocity compared to ASP. Due to these advantages, several researchers have started attempting AGS treatment for domestic sewage treatment. However, the formation of aerobic granules takes a very long time about 100–200 days as mentioned in most of the literatures reported so far. Hence this project is framed to find a specific method that can accelerate granule formation in AGS treatment. Initially, sludge sample was collected from the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) of Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science (HITS) and analyzed for solids content. Two approaches (i) use of biofilters i.e., bioballs, activated carbon and ceramic rings (ii) use of biocarriers i.e., chitosan and zeolite were studied. Among the studied methods, zeolite accelerated granule formation after 7 days with a sludge volume index (SVI) of 50 mL/g; settling velocity of 0.0466 cm/s and granule size of 3–5 mm. This study has a potential scope for field scale application to reduce the volume of sludge generated during ASP.
