With the growing pressure of stringent water quality standards, many municipal and industrial organizations are turning to specialized technology solutions in order to help them reduce their nitrogen and phosphorus discharges, also know as nutrient removal. Consequently, this is helping create a cleaner environment for us all.
The Importance of Nutrient Removal
Environmental:
When wastewater is discharged back into the environment without treatment, it often carries an abundance of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus - which can rapidly cause algal bloom.
This overgrowth blocks out vital sunlight for other aquatic life forms, suffocates them with deoxygenated water, or even kills them off in large numbers due to soaring ammonia levels. This has a detrimental impact on many ecosystems worldwide.
Human Health:
Environmental experts have long warned that an excessive amount of nutrients in the environment can severely jeopardize human health. This is becoming increasingly evident as our ecosystem continues to be impacted by modern day pollutants and contaminants.
Sources of Nutrients in Wastewater Streams
Residual nutrients from industrial production (product / supplemental ingredients)
Cleaning Chemicals and/or Detergents using Phosphate
Nutrients Inherent to All Other Organics
Run-off from agriculture
Nutrient Removal Processes and technologies
Biologically:
Wastewater treatment systems have a powerful ally in naturally-occurring bacteria and microorganisms that can target problem nutrients while safely eliminating them. This nutrient removal process helps to promote a healthier environment by restoring balance to crucial ecosystems.
Physically - Chemically:
Innovative nutrient removal processes employ combinations of clarification, flotation, filtration and chemical additives to rid wastewater streams of excess nutrients. Byproducts such as struvite can also be created through specialized technologies that transform the extracted compounds into a usable form.
Ion Exchange:
Media/resins can be used to efficiently extract nutrients from solution and reintroduce them into the environment, providing a cost-effective way of replenishing vital resources.
