Phosphorus Extraction & Recovery

• Extracts and recovers more than 95% of phosphorus

​

Quick Wash® is effective at extracting and recovering 95% or more of the phosphorus from a treatment facility’s solid stream or side stream.

​

 

• Alternative treatment locations

 

Quick Wash® is flexible in solving phosphorus issues.  It is the only system that can treat your solids pre digestion, post digestion, or post dewatering.  

 

​

• Reduces or eliminates phosphorus recycle load

 

When deployed on the side stream of thickening or dewatering operations, Quick Wash® can reduce or eliminate the recycle flow of phosphorus.

 

​

• Reduces polymer and metal salts

 

Quick Wash® can reduce or even eliminate a facility’s reliance on costly metal salts for phosphorus removal. The system also helps to increase dewatering efficiencies and reduce polymer consumption.

 

​

• Reduces disposal costs

 

Quick Wash® lowers the phosphorus content of liquid and dewatered biosolids — making the dewatering process more efficient, which lowers the volume of solids for disposal. Quick Wash® can reduce or eliminate biosolids landfilling fees by making the solids more viable for land application.

 

​

• Eliminates struvite scaling

 

Eliminates the costly maintenance fees associated with struvite scaling in digesters and treatment pipes.

 

​

• Increases revenue

​

Facilities can sell the recovered phosphorus, participate in nutrient credit trading opportunities, and potentially create locally blended custom fertilizers.

​

​

• Meet EPA nutrient TMDL requirements

​

Quick Wash® can help facilities meet increasingly stringent nutrient loading regulations.

 

​

• Represents a new, sustainable source of phosphorus

 

Quick Wash® represents a new and sustainable source of phosphorus to meet accelerating demand, while providing a solution that helps curtail phosphate pollution in groundwater and waterways.
