Microbial Enhanced Phosphorus Removal

Microbial Enhanced Phosphorus Removal is a process used in wastewater treatment where specific bacteria are employed to remove excess phosphorus from water. These bacteria absorb phosphorus for their growth, reducing the amount that enters natural water bodies, which helps prevent problems like algae blooms. The process involves creating favorable conditions for these microbes to thrive, ensuring efficient removal. It is an eco-friendly and cost-effective method, helping to protect aquatic ecosystems and maintain water quality by naturally transforming and sequestering phosphorus within the microbial community.
