Abstract

Struvite scale formation is a major operational issue at both conventional and biological nutrient removal wastewater treatment plants. Factors affecting the formation of struvite scales were investigated including supersaturation, pH and pipe material and roughness. A range of control methods have been investigated including low fouling materials, pH control, inhibitor and chemical dosing. Control methods exist to reduce scale formation although each has its advantages and disadvantages.
