Cover Story: Wastewater treatment utilities are confronted by the energy and supply crisis resulting from the war in Ukraine. More specifically, production and supply problems with precipitant production have shown that today’s wastewater treatment technology in Germany is not crisis-proof and must become more resilient. The aim of this article was to determine a required precipitant quantity with regard to chemical phosphorus elimination, as well as the expected shortfalls due to the shortage situation. Study surveys were conducted to gather data for a meaningful response regarding the operators, manufacturers, and the German federal states. A recommendation is given on what a path to more resilient wastewater management with a focus on phosphorus elimination could look like, e.g., via Bio-P. View this paper
