Information on Lanthanide Salt Chemistry from the blog of Neo Performance Materials, a Wastewater Treatment Plant Chemicals Company. Here we discuss the use of Lanthanide Salt for the removal of phosphorus within the wastewater treatment industry.
Less Sludge Production And Better Dewatering
When choosing a coagulant for removing phosphorus from wastewater, it may be tempting to select the “traditional” iron or aluminum coagulants. After all, these have been used in water treatment for decades and are “known”. However, when it comes to phosphorus removal,...
Eliminate Algae in Clarifiers
As predictable as spring, green algae in the clarifier. Or is it? It is a sure sign of spring, the algae growing again in your wastewater clarifier due to warming temperatures and released phosphorus. That green mess can clog weirs and cause violations of your TSS...
Cold Weather Operations
Baby, it’s cold outside! How are your chemical feeds handling it? Winter phosphorus removal from wastewater is simplified with Neo WaterFX. Another polar vortex blasted into the US in January, driving temperatures below freezing even deep into Florida. Many parts of...
Reducing Membrane Fouling
Membrane bioreactors see longer runs and better cleaning with Neo WaterFX. Membrane bioreactors, or MBRs, are a wonderful wastewater treatment process that produces high quality effluent. However, traditional coagulants for phosphorus removal can cause fouling that...
Case Study: Rapid Phosphorus Removal with Neo WaterFX
Summary Modern water treatment facilities that chemically or biologically target phosphorus removal have a lot of challenges when it comes to meeting their phosphorus discharge limits. Many of those challenges are related to timing because influent phosphorus loading...
