Treatment of industrial process effluents and contaminated groundwater using the Biological Granular Activated Carbon-Fluidized Bed Reactor (GAC-FBR) process: Volume 1. Final report
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. The results are presented of a three-year program designed to test and demonstrate the GAC-FBR process for a number of problem wastewaters facing the US Armed Forces. Both laboratory-pilot and field demonstrations using small commercial scale GAC-FBR systems were conducted.
