520 |a As regulatory requirements for contaminants in wastewater discharged to the environment get stricter, alternative or additional treatment processes to those already being used are necessary. One contaminant of particular concern associated with discharging treated municipal wastewater to a receiving water body is phosphorus (P). A continuous scale electrocoagulation (EC) system was investigated as an alternative to conventional chemical addition for P removal from municipal wastewater. The EC process was optimized for iron dose delivery by changing the electrical current, electrode spacing and the reactor contact time, and a comparison was made with conventional ferric dosing through jar testing. Results showed that EC could achieve P removal to meet a P consent of 1 mg L⁻¹ at a dose of 154 mg L⁻¹ Fe. The process was shown to provide a supplementary benefit for chemical and biological oxygen demand removal of 86% and 82%, respectively, but gave no significant removal of other sanitary pollutants. When compared directly with conventional iron dosing, EC required approximately twice the iron dose. When electrical costs were also factored into the comparison, EC was shown to be approximately double the cost of conventional dosing and at present is not a feasible alternative to conventional coagulation using ferric chloride
