A method for the treatment of phosphorus containing waste waters, particularly pig manure, which comprises separating the waste water into a solids faction and a liquid faction, mixing the liquid faction with a mineral substance to reduce the phosphor content, and separating the liquid faction from the mineral substance. A preferred mineral substance is quarry fines.

A remote staged furnace burner configuration includes placement of secondary fuel gas nozzles remote from burners. This configuration brings about an increased mixing of secondary fuel with furnace flue gases. As a result, the temperature of the burning fuel gas is lowered and NO x formation is reduced.

An improved needle assembly is provided. A distal portion of the needle can be formed of a first material which does not interfere with MRI imaging of a tissue receiving port disposed in the distal needle portion. A proximal needle portion can be formed of a second, different material. The proximal needle portion can provide strength and stiffness.
