Biological Phosphorus Removal Processes
Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) processes developed for wastewater treatment are mainly based on the enrichment of activated sludge with phosphorus-accumulating organisms under alternative anaerobic–aerobic conditions. According to the literature information of the EBPR processes, this chapter attempts to review the biochemical models ...

Using the activated sludge model 2d (ASM2d) to understand and predict the phosphorus accumulating organisms mechanism in enhanced biological phosphorus removal in relation to disintegrated sludge as a carbon source [PDF]
Carbon sources are considered as one of the most important factors in the performance of enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). Disintegrated sludge (DS) can act as carbon source to increase the efficiency of EBPR.

Removal and recovery of phosphorus from municipal wastewaters using a ferric nanoparticle adsorbent [PDF]
Phosphorus is removed from wastewater streams to prevent the ecologically harmful effects of eutrophication in receiving natural systems. Current chemical and biological techniques for removing phosphorus from wastewater are not able to practicably ...

Phosphorus removal in passive treatment technologies for tertiary wastewater treatment [PDF]
The treatment of phosphorus at small sewage works requires alternative approaches to the traditional chemical precipitation and biological removal pathways, as such approaches do not align well to the requirements at such a scale in relation to the use

Enhancing biological phosphorus removal with glycerol
An enhanced biological phosphorus removal process (EBPR) was successfully operated in presence of acetate. When glycerol was substituted for acetate in the feed the EBPR process failed. Subsequently waste activated sludge (WAS) from the reactor was removed to an off-line fermenter. The same amount of glycerol was added to the WAS fermenter which led to

Role of extracellular exopolymers in biological phosphorus removal
Three sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) supplied with different carbon sources were investigated. The system supplied with glucose gained the best enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR), although all of them were seeded from the same sludge. With the measurement of poly-β-hydroxyalkanoate (PHA) concentration, phosphorus content in sludge and ...

Effect of influent nutrient ratios and hydraulic retention time (HRT) on simultaneous phosphorus and nitrogen removal in a two-sludge sequencing batch reactor process [PDF]
A laboratory-scale anaerobic–anoxic/nitrification sequencing batch reactor (A2N- SBR) fed with domestic wastewater was operated to examine the effect of varying ratios of influent COD/P, COD/TN and TN/P on the nutrient removal.

The effect of effective microorganisms (EM) on EBPR in modified contact stabilization system
Excessive phosphorus can cause eutrophication in water bodies and needs to be reduced in most wastewaters before discharge to receiving waters.
