Phosphate precipitation systems

Limit values demand action

The over-fertilisation of our waters by the addition of phosphorus compounds has prompted legislators to impose ever stricter limits on the introduction of phosphates, e.g. with the European Water Framework Directive and the Water Budget Law.

Likusta has been active as a specialist in the field of water treatment/waste-water treatment and waste-gas treatment for more than 30 years. Likusta is certified as an authorised specialist company according to WHG and VbF.

Phosphate precipitation system with polyaluminium chlorides

Phosphate precipitation system with iron chloride

Method

Phosphate elimination by physico-chemical precipitation converts dissolved phosphates into undissolved phosphates and removes them as solids from the waste water. The precipitants used are typically iron salts including iron chloride (FeCl2 or FeCl3), iron chloride sulfate (FeClSO4) or iron (II) sulphate (FeSO4) and polyaluminium chloride (PAC), sodium aluminate or aluminium chloride.

The precipitants are themselves water-polluting so measures for the detection of leakage and the prevention of uncontrolled leakage are mandatory.

Phosphate elimination can be technically implemented in different ways. Each method has specific advantages and disadvantages

Simultaneous precipitation: Improvement of system operation
Precipitation with downstream biological stage: Frequently used to relieve the waste-water treatment plants but not always useful as a permanent solution
Subsequent precipitation: Very good phosphorus drainage rates but with high precipitant consumption

Operational safety, occupational safety and accident prevention

At Likusta, we strive to provide our customers with equipment to protect operating personnel from accidents at work. Our systems are therefore designed with strict consideration of the applicable laws and directives.

Everything from one provider – Likusta Umwelttechnik GmbH

Likusta assists you during your entire project; all essential services are performed by our team according to ISO-certified processes. In addition to the construction of tanks and appliances, electro-construction and control-cabinet construction are also carried out in-house. Therefore, we can respond with greater flexibility to customer demands.

Assembly, commissioning, acceptance, maintenance and repair are carried out by our highly trained service staff – also for third-party equipment.

Our phosphate precipitation systems are used in a wide range of industries, particularly in municipal and industrial waste-water treatment.
