- Phosphorus Removal - System Solution - FRC Project Profile
The municipality of Woodruff was looking for a biomass separation solution to handle summer algae blooms in their lagoon as well as to reduce the overall Total Phosphorus (TP). All Projects FRC Systems » Projects Algae & Phosphorus Removal System Solution Municipal Wastewater Previous Project Next Project FRC Components High-Rate DAF, Reactor Tanks Project Description The municipality of Woodruff was looking for a biomass separation solution to handle summer algae blooms in their lagoon as well as to reduce the overall Total Phosphorus (TP). A DAF was demonstrated to be highly effective in removing the algae and TP during trials. Two parallel DAF units were installed with Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTR) for chemical dosing to accommodate the wide-ranging daily flow. FRC chose a high rate DAF model with a low hydraulic surface loading rate (<1 gpm/ft2) as the approach to remove algae and TP. The FRC DAF floats the algae easily and it is skimmed off the top with our rotating top skimmer system. This design allows the TP entrained in the algae to be efficiently removed at the same time. The FRC Solution Reactor Tanks – Polymer dosed to agglomerate the biomass DAF – Floats the biomass, yielding clean effluent water Parameter Influent Effluent Req. Flow (gpm) 330 - Flow (m3/h) 1040 - TP (mg/L) 24 < 1 NH3 (mg/L) 32 < 5 MLSS (mg/L) 1100 - Design Data Previous Project Next Project Submit a Project Profile Have a Question?

- Algae Removal - System Solution - FRC Project Profile
The municipality of Evergreen was looking for a solution to their Total Phosphorus (TP) requirement of less than 1 mg/L as well as removing algae during the summer blooms. All Projects FRC Systems » Projects Algae & Phosphorus Removal System Solution Municipal Wastewater Previous Project Next Project FRC Components Flocculator, High-Rate DAF Project Description The municipality of Evergreen was looking for a solution to their Total Phosphorus (TP) requirement of less than 1 mg/L as well as removing algae during the summer blooms. The city chose to use a single FRC DAF and flocculator both constructed out of stainless steel 304, installed outdoors, to reduce overall construction cost. The small-footprint of the equipment effectively accomplishes the municipality’s goals. The combination of algae and TP removal is a challenge. The FRC DAF is a great solution because it can uniquely accomplish removal of both more efficiently than other conventional technologies. This approach saves time and space for municipalities facing both of these challenges at once.
