Technical Report · Sat Aug 01 04:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:7000856

This study investigated the suitability and effectiveness of a proprietary anaerobic/oxic (A/0) process to facilitate the biological removal of phosphorus from domestic wastewater. The study took place at the Northwest Quadrant Wastewater Treatment Plant in Hilton, New York, and was conducted in conjunction with the New York State Energy Research Development Authority (the Energy Authority) and the Monroe County Department of Pure Waters. The NWQWWTP concentration limit for total effluent phosphorus is 1.0 mg/l. Influent phosphorus concentrations usually vary from 4 to 5 mg/l at the plant.
