Treatment of Industrial Process Effluents & Contaminated Groundwater Using the Biological Granular Activated Carbon-Fluidized Bed Reactor (GAC-FBR) Process. Volume II

摘要

In 1992, Congress allocated funds for development of expertise in applied environmental bioremediation restoration technology including work on process integration, scale-up and demonstration of the Granular Activated Carbon-Fluidized Bed Reactor (GAC- FBR) process. Specific targets included the treatment of chlorinated solvents, nitrated compounds and aromatic hydrocarbons. The goal of this SERDP funded project was to conduct experimental work at the bench-scale through field demonstration using the GAC-FBR as the platform for degradation of these compounds of concern. In this repon are the results of a three-year program designed to test and demonstrate the GAC-DBR process for a number of problem wastewaters facing the U.S. Arined Forces. Both laboratory- pilot and field demonstrations using small commercial scale GAC-FBR systems were conducted.
