| Abstract |
EcoMat, Inc. of Hayward, California (EcoMat) has developed an ex situ anoxic biofilter biodenitrification (BDN) process. The process uses specific biocarriers and bacteria to treat nitrate-contaminated water and employs a patented reactor that retains biocarrier within the system, thus minimizing solids carryover. Methanol is added to the system as a carbon source for cell growth and for inducing metabolic processes that remove free oxygen and encourages the bacteria to consume nitrate. Methanol is also important to assure that the nitrate conversion results in the production of nitrogen gas rather than the intermediate (and more toxic) nitrite. |
