Biological phosphorus-removal processes incorporate a sequence of anaerobic and aerobic contact tanks to select for phosphorus-storing bacteria and provide them with necessary substrates. Acetate consumption and phosphorus release during anaerobic contacting is followed by phosphorus uptake and stor...
