Abstract A continuous precipitation and countercurrent filtration process was evaluated for the removal of phosphorus from municipal wastewater. Using alum and an anionic polyelectrolyte, the process was found to effectively reduce total phosphorus (TP), orthophosphate (OP) and condensed phosphate (CP) over a wide range of influent phosphorus concentrations. Preliminary work using jar tests established an alum dose of 200 mg/l (17.4 mg/l Al, molar ratio of Al1P is 27/31) as effective for removal of 90 per cent TP from the secondary clarifier effluent of a trickling filter plant. This removal efficiency could not be sustained with an alum dose of 200 mg/l when higher TP levels were encountered. Substantial reductions in final effluent total suspended solids (TSS) and 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) were also obtained. The 200 mg/l alum dose was also found to be equally effective for removal of phosphorus from raw sewage and primary effluent with the added capability for removing substantial portions of the TSS and BOD5. Costs for a 1.0 MGD plant are estimated to be $264,000 for capital and 12.0 cents per 1000 gal for total operating cost. Ultimate disposal of the phosphorus-containing sludge could be achieved by a dewatering and landfill operation. (Author)
