Super Phos (HE)
Benefits of Use:
- Helps to meet BOD:P ratio of 100:1
- Improved phosphate bioavailability and uptake. Super Phos® is many times more bioavailable than regular phosphorous compounds because Micro Carbon Technology® molecules protect it from tying up with other ions in water.
- Stimulation of biological activity for enhanced COD/BOD removal.
- Enhanced biological species diversity for better settleability.
- Improved natural floc formation.
- Improved SVI and SV30 for better, cleaner decant.
- Decreased phosphate levels in the effluent stream. Because Super Phos® is more bioavailable less phosphorus is applied, resulting in lower discharges. Typically, one-fourth to one-tenth the amount of Super Phos® is used when compared with common-grade phosphoric acid nutrients.
- Reduced material costs, easier handling, and improved treatment performance.
Problem Conditions Improved:
- Formation of insoluble phosphorous precipitates
- Foaming caused by filamentous bacteria
- Excess sludge production
- Excess phosphorus levels in effluent
- Settleability concerns
- Tankage/Storage concerns

Super Phos® Lowers Papermill Operating Costs in China
Problem The existing wastewater treatment system uses 600 kg/day of diammonium phosphate (DAP) to provide the needed phosphorus concentration to maintain a healthy microbial population to treat wastewater. These microorganisms break down the organic matter being discharged from the paper processing facility. Without the correct concentration of available phosphorus, the microorganisms are unable to grow...

It’s ALIVE!
by Heather Jennings, PE . . . the lagoon sludge layer, that is. I’ve seen many lagoons full of sludge, and the general attitude I find in the water industry is that the sludge layer is inert and really can only be mechanically dredged. To a certain point, that is correct: sand, soil, grit, plastics—basically...
Let’s Talk Nutrients for a Minute
by Heather Jennings, PE Generally, in the wastewater industry we talk about 100 mg/L BOD to 5 mg/L Nitrogen to 1 mg/L Phosphorus. The values for nitrogen and phosphorus can be higher or lower than this, but it’s the average number that many wastewater system designs are built around. If you look a little further,...
