PCP Impacted Groundwater
Confidential Client
Northwest USA

AQUAMEND™ was selected for pilot-scale demonstration on pentachlorophenol (PCP) impacted groundwater at a facility in Northwest USA.

A 500 gallon pilot-scale bioreactor system was operated by the on-site personnel with remote technical support from Adventus. AQUAMEND™ treatment systems are designed to be dependable and simple to operate. The site groundwater contained PCP at an initial concentration of approximately 1,300 mg/L.

Using a hydraulic retention time (empty bed contact time) of 2 hours, AQUAMEND™ treatment consistently supported reductions in PCP concentration to < 2.1 mg/L. Using a hydraulic retention time of 3 hrs resulted in reductions in PCP concentrations to below detection limits.
