Biological phosphorous clean-up and recycling

Tech ID: 21.690

Key Features

• Novel strains of green algae with high capacity to sequester phosphorous from water
• Poly-P stored in these algae are a slow release organic fertiliser

Description

Microalgae can be used to remove excess phosphorous from water and the resulting algae can then be reused as slow-release fertilizer. The technology is based on novel strains of algae that have a dramatically increased capacity to sequester phosphorous, making them an efficient sink for phosphorous present in for example waste waters.
