Phosphorus Removal with Pickle Liquor in an Activated Sludge Plant


Book Description

Hot waste pickle liquor (ferrous sulfate) as an iron source was successful in precipitating phosphorus from solution in a 115 mgd East Plant of Milwaukee's Jones Island Activated Sludge Wastewater Treatment Plant. An 85 mgd section of the plant receiving the same influent was operated as a control. The East Plant with iron addition, achieved 91.3% removals (0.70 mg/1 P effluent residual), while the control West Plant removed 83.1% (1.4 mg/1 P residual). Comparison of efficiencies of purification, pH, alkalinity, and microscopic examinations of the sludge microorganism indicated that the addition of unneutralized waste pickle liquor did not adversely affect purification processes.

Phosphorus and Nitrogen Removal from Municipal Wastewater


Book Description

This valuable new book offers practical guidance regarding the design and operation of systems for reducing effluent nitrogen and phosphorus. The principles of nitrogen and phosphorus removal are discussed, including sources of nitrogen and phosphorus in wastewater, removal options, nitrogen and phosphorus transformations in treatment, process selection, and treatment. The book also covers the design and operation of nitrogen and phosphorus removal systems, including system options, system design, facility design, facility costs, and operation. Practical case studies are provided as examples of successful system implementations that may be able to help you decide what will work best in your plant.
