Neo WaterFX removes phosphorus while maintaining pH balance for healthy bugs
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...
Stabilize pH for Better Biological Treatment with Neo WaterFX
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...
Phosphorus Removal from Wastewater WITHOUT Disrupting Your pH Balance
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...
Skyrocketing Chemical Costs – Is It Time To Reevaluate Your P-Removal Coagulant?
It is no secret that inflation has hit every sector of the economy. BUT inflation hasn’t hit everything equally. If you use traditional coagulants (iron or aluminum based, or PAC) to remove phosphorus from your wastewater, you are paying significantly more than you...
Enhanced Energy Efficiency: CEPT with Neo WaterFX
Wastewater treatment consumes a great deal of energy. Efforts to make treatment more energy efficient include finding ways to reduce aeration needs and also generating biogas in digesters to use as fuel. Chemically Enhanced Primary Treatment (CEPT) can assist with...
