PHOSPHATE DATA EXTRACTS BY KASELCO
Shown below are extracts of various projects that included phosphorous data. Phosphorous
removal was an objective in only some of these. There are many other data points not recorded in
the computerized records that confirmed that phosphorous is readily removed by the KASELCO
process.
Various notations have been used to describe the amount of processing which the waste has
undergone. The results shown as “1A” are taken from mid-reactor. Results labeled “1B” are from
the exit of the reactor. 2B represents two full passes, etc. The technology is effective in
phosphorous reduction under difficult circumstances, and will likely be more effective on sewage
waste following digestion.
A. Thread-coating operation: The generating process is used to create iron phosphate on
newly-cut pipe threads using heavy sequestering agents.
B. Aged Hog Waste: Waste water from a hog farm. Average age is >30 days,
making it difficult to treat. Very high in solids. Screened to 1/32”.
C. Condensed Milk Plant: Effluent from a plant that condenses milk.
D. XYZ Farm Waste (dil 50:50): Aged pig waste screened but not filtered.
E. Hog Farm Aged Waste: Aged pig waste screened but not filtered.
ADDENDUM: Independent Laboratory Results:
F. Mixture of zinc chloride and phosphoric acid: (1999)
GLOSSARY and NOTES
• Profile: The characteristics of the waste being tested.
• Range Percent: Bench scale rectifier control setting.
• 1A: Equivalent of half a pass through a full-scale production reactor.
• 1B: Equivalent of one full pass through a full-scale production reactor.
• Type: KASELCO EC reactors come in three electrical configurations and is chosen based on the wastewater’s conductivity.
