While it may seem that removal of phosphorus from wastewater using lanthanide salts is innovative technology, in truth it is NOT new. Before there was an EPA, the removal of phosphates using lanthanum, La(III), was studied and compared to removal using aluminum,...

Removing phosphorus from wastewater is critical to maintaining healthy water resources and protecting the health of communities. However, the traditional coagulants used to remove phosphorus to low levels consume the natural alkalinity in the wastewater, resulting in...

We have focused several articles showing the benefits of switching to Neo WaterFX from “traditional” coagulants for phosphorus removal in wastewater. By “traditional”, we usually mean ferric chloride or alum. But what about specialized coagulants like Poly Aluminum...

Phosphorus removal from wastewater often means chemical precipitation using a very acidic coagulant, traditionally alum or iron-based. Due to the chemistry of these coagulants, the dosage required is often 4 to 10 times that indicated by the stoichiometry alone and...

With the renewal of their Utah Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (UPDES) permit, Jordanelle Special Service District (JSSD) was confronting extremely low total phosphorus (TP) limits of 0.03 mg/L (May – Oct) and 0.06 mg/L (Nov – April) as a 90-day average at...
