Abstract
As stewards of the environment, water resource recovery facilities (WRRF) need to become managers of the resources contained in municipal wastewater. Current operational practices are not effective in the recovery of the many valuable resources that pass through facilities. The path forward towards becoming resource managers starts with the integration of processes that use less energy, and facilitate the recovery of water and nutrients for beneficial use. This has driven Metro Wastewater Reclamation District (MWRD) to better understand the challenges and impacts associated with the integration of effective unit processes. Biological phosphorus removal (Bio P) is a sustainable and cost effective means to remove P, yet has many full-scale impacts across the facility. Phosphorus recovery has the potential to address these issues, yet has the potential impact effluent quality. Efficient performance of both systems have a synergistic effect on the overall removal of P from the liquid state, and the ultimate amount of P available for recovery. The purpose of this study is to characterize and evaluate the impacts and benefits different P recovery schemes have on full-scale operations.
