Fundamental operation factors of biological phosphorus removal process.

Biological Phosphorus Removal Potential Test

Biological phosphorus removal (BPR) techniques offer a number of advantages over chemical addition, including enhanced treatment, reduced energy consumption, and reduced sludge production. A rapid, low-cost method for determining the feasibility of biological phosphorus removal should allow these techniques to be more widely used. A simple test is proposed to determine the amount of phosphorus ...

Biological Phosphorus and Nitrogen Removal from Wastewater Using Moving Bed Biofilm Process

In this research, an experimental study to evaluate nutrient removal from synthetic wastewater by a lab-scale moving bed biofilm process was investigated. Also, kinetic analysis of the process with regard to phosphorus and nitrogen removal was studied with different mathematical models. For nutrient removal, the moving bed biofilm process was applied in series with anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic...

Denitrifying and Phosphorus Removal Process and Its Affecting Factors

In Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal ( Ebpr ) Processes

Phosphorus is an essential element for every living organism, but when it exceeds certain limit in water bodies, it will cause serious environmental issues, such as eutrophication. P accumulation in water bodies can be caused by non-point sources, such as agriculture land runoff, as well as from point sources such as wastewater effluent discharges. In order to avoid eutrophication of water bodi...

Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal within Membrane Bioreactors

Several Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) facilities have been constructed with the intent of providing Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR), and several additional such plants are being designed and constructed. Full-scale plant information is now available for process designers to better understand the unique design and operating issues associated with the incorporation of EBPR designs in MB...
