Q » What is enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR)?
03 Nov, 2025
A » Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) is a wastewater treatment process that uses specific microorganisms to remove excess phosphorus biologically. By creating alternating anaerobic and aerobic conditions, EBPR encourages phosphorus-accumulating organisms (PAOs) to uptake and store phosphorus, reducing its concentration in the treated water. This method is environmentally friendly and cost-effective, preventing eutrophication in natural water bodies caused by excess phosphorus discharge.
