What Does EBPR Stand For?

EBPR stands for Enhanced Biol Phosphorus Removal

EBPR, or Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal, is a wastewater treatment process that utilizes specialized microorganisms to efficiently remove phosphorus from wastewater. This method involves the staged biological treatment of sewage or industrial effluents to promote the uptake of phosphorus by specific bacteria, enhancing their capacity to sequester and convert phosphorus into biomass. EBPR is significant for improving water quality and meeting regulatory standards, as it reduces the risk of eutrophication in receiving water bodies.
