Full-Scale Fixed-Bed Biological Perchlorate Destruction Demonstration, Construction of a Fixed Bed Bioreactor Wellhead Treatment System

Abstract

The objective of this project was to evaluate the efficacy of a two-stage fixed-bed biological treatment (FXB) system to treat perchlorate-impacted groundwater in Rialto, California and produce water that meets all drinking water standards. Perchlorate is a widespread groundwater contaminant in California, and conventional treatment options that produce high-strength brines are becoming exceedingly expensive, especially in inland areas with limited options for disposal.
