research wastewater treatment (WWT) process that can meet 2020, for an increasingly stricter discharge consents for the innovative concentration of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in algae based wastewater (WW) effluents. Elevated levels of N & P are tertiary linked to detrimental environmental events e.g. wastewater eutrophication. WWT operators require a treatment treatment process that is able to remove nutrients in an energy system efficient manner which current technology cannot meet. - I-PHYC’s novel patented treatment process uses SME microalgae (MA) to remove nutrients from WW effluents. MA reproduce rapidly when sufficient nutrients, light and CO2 are supplied. The MA consume the nutrients of the WW until exhausted producing a clean effluent that meets new EU consents and allows the operator to meet its statutory commitments while avoiding financial penalties. The biomass is retained for reactor seeding or harvested for valorisation e.g. anaerobic digestion of biomass to produce electricity. The process has been validated by I-PHYC in a recent field trial (late 2013) at driving Avonmouth WWT, UK. The field trial was based on a 1 m3 system which replicated all the functions of a commercial scale system. Results from the trial demonstrated a and reduction in the tertiary treatment effluent concentration of P and ammonia by >70% and COD by>30%.
