As a collaborative effort between MWH and Northwestern University, the objective of
this research was to investigate the application of a novel hydrogen-fed
hollow-fiber membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) for the removal of perchlorate. During
initial testing, it was discovered that a bench-scale MBfR was effective in reducing 50 to
1,000 ug/L perchlorate to below the previous California Department of Public Health
Services Advisory Action Level of 18-ug/L. At pilot-scale, the objective was to evaluate
the application of a pilot-scale MBfR to biologically reduce low-concentration
perchlorate-contaminated water from an active groundwater well.
