Using the Hydrogen-based Membrane Biofilm Reactor to Treat a Groundwater Containing a High Concentration of Perchlorate

This paper examines the use of a membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) to remove perchlorate in a groundwater from ~10 mg/L to below the Arizona clean-up level of 14 Êg/L. Results provided indicate that a two stage MBfR is needed to reach the Arizona target concentration because of sulfate reduction
