[...]Beside other elements, phosphorus is essentially required for cell building and is mainly mined outside Europe. Our phosphorus resources are limited. Their price will therefore rise significantly in the future. Phosphorus is a main component of fertilisers and ends up in our food chain either directly via plants or indirectly via animal products. In the human organism phosphorus, as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), has the role of the energy supplier for our cells. About 2 g phosphorus per capita are flushed down the toilet every day. The phosphorus compounds contained within wastewater are [...]

[...]At the IFAT 2005 in Munich the unrivalled market leader in the field of grit washing plants presents itself as a real champion: The 1,000 COANDA Grit Washing units sold impressively demonstrate that this plant is being accepted as the standard solution in mechanical wastewater treatment.
