You can probably try growing strains of Chlorella, some strains of Dunaliella . I have worked with the Chlorella vulgaris strain it was actually used for the removal of lead (II) ions from wastewater. It also helped removing nutrients (N and P) from domestic wastewater.
What type of waste water are you looking at and the scale of the project?
Here are the list of strains which can be used for wastewater treatment using algae:
Chlorella
Pithophora sp
Scenedesmus abundans
Sargassum muticum
Spirulina sp
Dunaliella salina
Ankistrodesmus sp
Microactinium sp
Pediastrum sp

Hope this helps!
