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

Water Master Plans
By Heather Jennings, PE When I worked with engineering firms, there were a lot of water master plans being developed. Many of them were updates, as the plans had been around for 5–10 years and needed revision. Some master plans evaluated water and wastewater systems from scratch. All of these were interesting to me due
Use of Biostimulants for Upset Recovery in Paper Mill Wastewater Systems
By Heather Jennings, PE Two specific Probiotic Solutions® liquid bioremediation products were used at a large-scale paper mill in China to address system upsets caused by hydraulic loading from new upstream processes. The products involved are Bio Energizer® (BE)—a scientific formulation of organic acids, buffers, natural biological stimulants, micronutrients, and energy systems—and Micatrol® (MT), a
Do Constructed Wetlands Improve Water Quality?
By Jael Batty Constructed wetlands, which mimic natural wetlands, treat municipal and industrial wastewater, mine drainage, small business and household greywater, animal wastes, and agricultural and stormwater runoff. They are recommended by regulatory agencies as a best management practice to control urban runoff.
