Assessing Struvite Formation Potential at Wastewater Treatment Plants by Fattah, Kazi Parvez

“…Wastewater treatment plants, especially those employing secondary treatment and anaerobic sludge digestion, have historically encountered phosphate precipitates, one of the commonest being struvite, that foul and encrust the sludge return lines, and the associated pumps and valves. This growth of ‘uncontrolled’ struvite increases pumping and maintenance cost, as well as reduces the overall capacity of the plant piping system in terms of lost hydraulic capacity and lowered biological treatment capacity. …”
