Agree with Jeremy. The Bio-P removal process is result of P accumulating acting differently under Anaerobic Conditions and Aerobic conditions. During Anaerobic conditions the storage Capacity of bacteria is increased due to P release and PHA/PHB storage in the cell body. And during subsequent Aerobic step , the same bacteria takes up the P once again releasing the PHA/PHB or food they have stored in their cell structure. Thus, fixing them on media certainly will not help and thus elimination of RAS is also not feasible. However, you can add Media in the anoxic zone to reduce its foot print but provided you have rbCOD addition as methanol or ethanol or else the benefits are not much encouraging due to not able to maintain right redox potential .
