Under phosphorous loading rates of 2.49 ± 0.60 g-TP/m2 d,
1.74 ± 0.43 g-RP/m2 d and 1.15 ± 0.37 g-SRP/m2 d, removal efficiencies
of 85–86%, 89–90% and 88–89% were achieved for TP, RP
and SRP, respectively, across all four CW-MFCs. Further encouragement
is garnered from the response of the CW-MFCs to fluctuating
loading of RP; as illustrated by the combined performance of the
four systems in
