Abstract: The Monsanto Plant at Trenton, Michigan, is located on the Detroit River near the point where the river discharges into Lake Erie. The plant is Monsantos major producer of food-grade sodium phosphates. In recent years the soluble phosphate loss in the plant effluent, has averaged 3,260 lb/day, expressed as P. Monsanto had long recognized this loss a.s a problem of raw material yield but in early 1965 it began to think of reduction in terms of pollution abatement. The local plant was given overall responsibility for solving the problem. To fix responsibility, an engineering supervisor was assigned to develop and implement a program for the plant. This was accomplished with the assistance of plant engineers and chemists, the Inorganic Chemicals Division Research Department, and Monsatos Central Engineering Department. In April 1966, Monsanto stipulated with the Michigan Water Resources Commission for plant loss that would be reduced by 80%, or to less than 625 lb/day, by November 1969.
