Phosphorus concentrations in final effluent, after wastewater treatment, in the pulp and paper industry, represents a huge problem. The challenge is even greater when the raw material used is eucalyptus - mainly Eucalyptus globulus - very rich in phosphorus. Anyone know of proven processes for viable treatment?
Phosphorus absorbing organisms. We use a biocleaner to generate the said bacteria. with high cod, we treat tp to below 1. then polish with sandstone filter to get under 0.1
