Factors Influencing The Reliability Of Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) has been used for decades to remove phosphorus from municipal wastewater because it allows facilities to meet water quality goals while minimizing chemical consumption and sludge production. However, there is still substantial variability in both the practices applied to achieve EBPR and the level of soluble phosphorus removal achieved.

The objective of this research project was to develop information that can be used to help municipal wastewater …
