Scholarship Description: Eutrophication caused by excess P loading poses serious environmental
risk to freshwater bodies around the world. To prevent eutrophication,
legislation on P discharge is becoming stricter and water companies, in
particular, now face additional requirements to reduce P concentration in their
final effluents to ultra-low levels. Fundamentally, P removal from wastewater
effluents can be achieved using chemical precipitation or biological processes.
However, it is technically difficult or economically undesirable for both
techniques to enhance P removal to achieve ultra-low P concentrations.
Moreover, the ratification of the EU Water Framework Directive requires all
member states to put measures in place to achieve good chemical and biological
status in controlled waters using sustainable management techniques. Thus the
challenge remains how to achieve ultra-low effluent P concentrations using
techniques that can meet current and proposed future limits while still
benefiting the environment.
