In an activated sludge process the metal salt is often added to the mixed liquor where the continual
recycling of sludge containing the metal hydroxides enhances removal efficiency. This also maintains
phosphate removal for limited periods even when there are breakdowns in the dosage system.
For biological filter plants the metal salt can be added at the primary sedimentation tanks which as seen
above will enhance suspended solids removal. However there is the danger of insufficient nutrient
phosphate being available for good purification on the filter, although successful operation in this mode
has been reported. The alternative is to add the salt after the biological filters and remove the floc in the
humus tanks.
