Abstract |
Biological uptake, chemical precipitation of soluble phosphorus, and settling or filtration of particulate phosphorus are the major removal mechanisms used in phosphorus removal. At present, chemical precipitation is the most universally applied method. The wide variety of chemical reactions which lead to phosphorus precipitation allows much flexibility of operation to plant operators. In dealing with raw sewage, primary effluent, or secondary effluent the size of the plant, influent waste water characteristics phosphorus discharge standard, and the types of other processes used in the treatment train must all be considered. In addition to phosphorus removal, higher levels of BOD and suspended solids removals are customarily are customarily obtained when some type of phosphate reduction mechanism is employed. Each of the mechanisms described here have been analyzed both with respect to technological and economic feasibility. Costs ranged from 13 cents/1000 gallons for two-stage lime treatment of 1 mgd to achieve 97% removal, to a potential low of $.015/1000 gallons using waste pickle liquor to achieve a reduction of 80%.
