Total phosphorus is a measure commonly used in the water and wastewater industry to explain how much phosphorus is present in the liquids of a treatment plant. Increasingly, states and the federal government are imposing limits on how much phosphorus can be in the effluent at wastewater plants.
Reid Staton is a product development manager for Veolia and Luke Wood is a biological process manager for Veolia. Together they explain what total phosphorus is, how it is measure, what is considered a high value of phosphorus in water and technologies available to treat it.
