Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Wastewater treatment systems and processes for removal of solids pathogens, nitrogen, and phosphorus from municipal and agricultural wastewater include nitrification of wastewater and increasing the pH of the nitrified wastewater by adding a metallic-containing salt and hydroxide to precipitate phosphorus to form a useable effluent having a specified nitrogen:phosphorus ratio that is useful as a fertilizer or spray for remediation of contaminated soils. The presence of infectious microorganism such as enteropathogenic bacteria and picarnoviruses will be reduced in the useable effluent. The precipitated phosphorus is recovered and used to form useable phosphorus products.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 12, 2002 and granted December 31, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 12, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 12, 2024.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
