Bacterial Metabolism Requirements: Energy Source (organic or inorganic) Electron Acceptor (O 2, NO 3, SO 4, CO 2 ) Carbon Source (organic or CO 2 ) Macronutrients (N,P,S) Mineral Ions (Ca, K, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn, Co, et al.) Vitamins and/or Amino Acids

Terminal Electron Acceptor: ClO 4 - ClO 3 - ClO 2 - O 2 + Cl - (perchlorate) (chlorate) (chlorite) H 2 O Biological Perchlorate Reduction

FLUIDIZED BED REACTOR EFFLUENT FEED (i.e., CONTAMINATED GROUNDWATER) NUTRIENT(S) ELECTRON DONOR INFLUENT RECYCLE BED HEIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FBR Flow Schematic

FBR Advantages High biomass concentration means long SRT and short HRT High volumetric efficiency translates to compact system Simplicity of operation minimizes need for operator attention Small impact from changing feed conditions, as feed is combined with recycle before entering the reactor

Key Mechanical Components Device and method used to distribute influent flow to the reactor Device and method used to control the expansion of the fluidized bed due to biofilm growth Method to control electron donor dosage rate

Pilot-Scale Laboratory Testing for Perchlorate

Laboratory-Pilot FBR Treatability -Application: Groundwater treatment -Feed:6-10 ppm C1O 4, 1-2 ppm NO 3 -N -Effluent:< 4 ppb C1O 4 (NO 3 -N not measured) Treatability -Application: Groundwater / Process water -Feed:400 ppm C1O 4, 480 ppm C1O 3, 20 ppm NO 3 -N -Effluent:< 0.02 ppm C1O 4, < 1 ppm C1O 3 < 1 ppm NO 3 -N

Laboratory-Pilot FBR Study –Application:Media Comparison, sand vs. GAC –Feed: ppm ClO 4 –Effluent: < 4 ppb ClO 4 Study –Application:Electron Donor Comparison (Ethanol, Methanol, Acetate) –Feed: ppm ClO 4 –Effluent: < 4 ppb ClO 4 (EtOH), < 20 ppb (HAc), ~1 ppm (MeOH), < 4 ppb (EtOH/MeOH)

FBR Media Performance Comparison with ethanol

Electron Donor Performance Comparison with silica sand FBR media

Treatment of High Concentration Perchlorate Waters using Pilot FBRs

Treatment of Chlorate and Nitrate in Pilot FBRs

Full-Scale FBR Treatment of Perchlorate

Full-Scale FBR Installation (Perchlorate Reduction) Design Basis –4,000 gpm –Four reactors –Ethanol as electron donor –GAC media –Volumetric ClO 4 loading = 44 lb/day/kcf

Full-Scale FBR Performance

Summary GAC media yielded quicker startup and showed more resiliency than sand. Ethanol is a more effective electron donor than methanol. Biological treatment to below quantitation limits has been demonstrated for high and low concentration waters. Consistent treatment of perchlorate to below quantitation limits has been demonstrated in a full-scale FBR system for more than 1 year.
