GENERAL Existing Removal Section III-B PHOSPHORUS REHOVAL PROCESSES 111/8 The City of Fort Wayne Water Pollution Control Plant received in 1970 an average of 2650 pounds of phosphorus per day. Existing facilities removed an average of 20 percent (without lime additions) prior to discharging effluent to the Maumee River. In addition to effecting this removal of total phosphorus, the treatment plant also converts organic phosphorus and polyphosphate to orthophosphate, thereby producing a form more amenable to chemical treatment.
