    Algal growth in wastewater treatment can highly remove nitrogen and phosphorus when CO2 is added, as wastewater is carbon limited for algae. High-rate algal ponds (HRAP) for water treatment can cost up to two-thirds less than conventional activated sludge processes (CASP). Additionally, the energy costs of activated sludge processes are 200-400% higher than HRAP processes.

    Algae and Wastewater Facts

    High removal of nitrogen and phosphorous is possible, given that CO2 is added; wastewater is carbon limited for algal growth. Additionally, HRAP water treatment can cost up to a full 2/3 less than the CASP. Moreover, energy costs of the activated sludge process can be 200-400 % more than that of HRAP processes. [?]
