Oxidation ditch is an extended activated sludge process. Correct Answer True

Oxidation ditch is an extended aeration activated sludge process. An oxidation ditch is a large holding tank in a continuous ditch with an oval shape similar to that of a racetrack. The ditch is built on the surface of the ground and is lined with an impermeable lining.
