In the ReCoverP project we will increase the P recovery from wastewater and transform it into high quality P products that can be used in agriculture and industry. This will be achieved by optimization of the biological P removal in wastewater treatment plants without compromising the effluent quality, the release of P into bulk water in digesters, pre-concentration and precipitation of P by novel membranes, ion exchange, and crystallization technologies. This will strengthen Denmark’s ability to minimize our dependence of imported P and to aid the transformation of Danish WWTPs to P-recovery units providing economic benefits for the WWTPs and society.
The recover P is divided into four different work packages:
- Design of optimal microbial community for P-recovery
- P-pools in wastewater treatment plants and digesters
- Production of well-defined P products
- Recovery of P by use of membranes
Period: 1/4 15 - 31/3 19
