Cerium Chloride – Phosphorus Removal for Struvite Prevention and Improved Dewatering
When it comes to binding with soluble orthophosphate (OP), lanthanide-based coagulants like Neo WaterFX, with cerium chloride (CeCl3) as a main ingredient, have the distinct advantage of being highly efficient and forming a strong bond that holds the phosphate in a...
Phosphate bonding – when it comes to removal of phosphorus, strength matters.
Achieving low total phosphorus limits in wastewater (under 1 mg/L) requires chemical removal with coagulants. But one problem with traditional iron or aluminum coagulants is that they do not PREFER bonding with phosphate. They prefer bonding with hydroxide OH- ions,...
Preserving Alkalinity During Phosphorus Removal from Wastewater
Removing phosphorus from wastewater through chemical precipitation, using traditional aluminum and ferric coagulants, consumes large quantities of alkalinity, which can inhibit your biological treatment processes, particularly nitrification. It can also push your...
Reduce Chemical Sludge from Phosphorus Removal – and the Associated Disposal Costs
Trucking Costs Have Risen, Driving Up Sludge Disposal Costs Have your phosphorus removal related sludge disposal costs increased this fall? If so, you are not alone. Trucking costs have increased substantially, driven by higher gas and diesel prices and a shortage of...
Remove Phosphorus Safely!
Safe Removal Of Phosphorus In Wastewater Treatment When it comes to phosphorus removal in wastewater treatment plants, phosphorus removing coagulants are NOT created equal. With Neo WaterFX you can remove phosphorus safely. If you have been following our blogs, you...
