EBPR, or Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal, is a biological wastewater treatment process that enhances the removal of phosphorus from wastewater by utilizing specific microorganisms. This process is essential for controlling nutrient levels in treated water, preventing problems such as eutrophication in receiving water bodies. EBPR relies on a two-phase process where anaerobic and aerobic conditions are applied to promote the growth of phosphorus-accumulating organisms (PAOs).
