Title Design challenges for large scale sulfate reducing bioreactors Type Journal Article
Year 2005 Publication Contaminated Soils, Sediments and Water: Science in the Real World, Vol 9 Abbreviated Journal
Volume 9 Issue Pages 33-44
Keywords mine water treatment
Abstract The first large-scale (1,200 gpm capacity), sulfate-reducing; bioreactor (SRBR) was constructed in 1996 to treat water from an underground lead mine in Missouri. Other large-scale SRBR systems have been built elsewhere since then. This technology holds much promise for economically treating heavy metals and has progressed steadily from the laboratory to industrial applications. Scale-up challenges include: designing for seasonal temperature variations, minimizing short circuits, changes in metal loading rate s, storm water impacts, and resistance to vandalism. However, the biggest challenge may be designing for the progressive biological degradation of the organic substrate and its effects on the hydraulics of the SRBR cells.
