Abstract
Superior performance of phosphorous removal was achieved by ion exchange process with respect to chemical precipitation. The ion exchange resins required a lower dosage to ensure compliance with the effluent limit. The ion exchange process was less costly due to the lower energy consumption and sludge production.
