Phosphorus Removal Solutions With Ballasted Clarification

Meeting tight phosphorus limits is a priority for wastewater treatment operators but finding the right technology to meet regulatory compliance, budget, and plant footprint objectives, can feel like a challenge. To help provide clarity on the subject, Casey Whittier, product manager at Evoqua Water Technologies, answers the top frequently asked questions when it comes to phosphorus management.

It is widely known that the level of phosphorus in wastewater must be reduced to protect our environment. Left untreated, it can have many negative effects on waterways. And, preventing this is a challenge that’s on the rise as our population increases. At Evoqua, we work closely with wastewater treatment plant operators to understand their specific challenges and develop innovative solutions to help solve them. The right technology will not only reduce nutrient levels, protect ecosystems, and maintain compliance with environmental regulation, it will also improve operational efficiency, and reduce maintenance.
