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...
An alternative to Poly Aluminum Chloride
April 2023 SUMMARY The City of Dallas Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Georgia treats mainly municipal water in the City of Dallas and surrounding Paulding County just northwest of Atlanta. Dallas’s treatment process is a fairly typical conventional activated...
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...
One and Done: Preventing Phosphorus Release with WaterFX
Removing phosphorus from wastewater using coagulants should be a simple one and done process. The coagulant should react with the ortho-phosphorus, settle, be removed with the solids, perhaps be digested, then dewatered and disposed of. Sadly, what “should be” often...
