Advancing the Use of Drinking Water Treatment Residuals (DWTRs) in Stormwater Treatment Features to Enhance Phosphorous (P) Removal for Transportation Projects

Brief Project Description:

Removing both particulate and dissolved P from stormwater in roadside treatment infrastructure is challenging because both physical and chemical removal mechanisms are required. We studied two sand filters enhanced with aluminum-based DWTRs having high P sorption capacity to determine stormwater P load reductions in the field. Results demonstrate that DWTR-enhanced systems can effectively remove dissolved P and thereby increase overall P load reduction.
