Abstract

At a waste water treatment facility, secondary treatment process algae species Cladophora glomerata and Vaucheria is growing in a trickling filter. This study investigates the role of the algae and its potential for phosphor removal. Phosphorus removed by algae in the trickling filter reached 52% or 902.5 g per day at a flow rate of 9000,000 l/d.
