Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Water Treatment Engineering

Background:

  • Biological nutrient removal (BNR) is crucial for wastewater treatment.
  • Phosphate removal is a key aspect of BNR, requiring careful control of various factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated review of parameters influencing biological phosphate removal from wastewater.
  • To serve as a foundational resource for researchers, operators, and newcomers to BNR systems.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of scientific publications on wastewater composition and operational parameters.
  • Analysis of factors affecting biological phosphate uptake and release in wastewater treatment plants.

Main Results:

  • Identified key wastewater composition parameters: Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Volatile Fatty Acids (VFA), cation concentration, phosphorus load, pH, and Food-to-Microorganism (F/M) ratio.
