it is important to note that removing detritus is removing the source of the inorganic phosphates. skipping an entire step. no need for GFO if the detritus is removed.

inorganic phosphates is a waste product of the decomposition of food and animal wastes. remove these then the need for inorganic phosphate binders is significantly reduced.

to me it just makes more sense to go after the source instead of the product, when the source is not something we want in the system either.
