Summary of Presentation

An analysis was conducted to determine the best options for management of total phosphorus in the effluent and internal recycle at all three SAWS WRCs. This presentation covers pending nutrient limits, possible basin configurations to meet these limits, as well as operational scenarios for biological nutrient removal. The presentation also covers the phosphorus cycle in the facility and how the liquids stream impacts the solids stream, which can lead to detrimental scale production.
