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...
Star Sewer Case Study: Dosing WaterFX 300 In MBR System
Achieving Low Discharge Seasonal Limits and Avoiding Capital Costs Summary Star Sewer Wastewater Treatment Plant is a 1.25 MGD Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR) municipal facility in Star Idaho near Boise. Star has been issued a seasonal total phosphorus (TP) limit of 0.07...
Gin Clear Effluent
Nothing makes a WWTF operator prouder than the sight of gin-clear effluent spilling over the weirs of the clarifiers. Few things spoil that beautiful sight more than algae growing in the clarifier, catching on the weir as the effluent spills over, floating in the...
