Industrial Applications

For large industrial applications there is the possibility for removal of non-biodegradable phosphonates in the water treatment plant although this can add significantly to plant costs. In some pulp plants where the concentration of phosphonates is high there is evidence of biodegadation occouring, leading to some removal of phosphates prior to discharge into watercourses. In most cases, however, the ultimate fate is discharge into the environment. ENVIRODOS^®  is biodegraded in water treatment plants and so nothing goes into the environment
