The invention provides systems and methods for removing perchlorate from water. The systems comprise reactors comprising biomass for degrading perchlorate, and the operation of the systems can be controlled according to novel logic specifications. Also provided are filters and filtration systems for clearing water in advance of analysis of the concentration of contaminants within the water. The filters comprise a length of tubing configured to generate backpressure at the filter sufficient to facilitate the flow of a water sample through the filter without overpressurization.

Methods for treatment of perchlorate contaminated water

A system is provided for withdrawing permeate from a substrate. The exemplary system includes a vessel having a wall configured to contain substrate, a compartment positioned adjacent the wall of the vessel and configured to receive substrate from the vessel, and a filter positioned at least partially within the compartment and configured to separate permeate from substrate during operation of the filter. The compartment is configured to contain cleaning solution and substantially prevent cleaning solution from contacting substrate in the vessel during cleaning of the filter.

System and method for withdrawing permeate through a filter and for cleaning the filter in situ

A system is provided for withdrawing permeate from a substrate. The exemplary system includes a vessel configured to contain substrate, two or more compartments configured to receive substrate from the vessel and to return a portion of received substrate to the vessel, and a filter positioned at least partially within each of the compartments and configured to separate permeate from substrate during operation of the filter. At least one of the compartments is configured to contain cleaning solution and substantially prevent cleaning solution from contacting substrate in the vessel during cleaning of the filter. The exemplary system is configured for cleaning the filter in situ in at least one of the compartments while operating the filter in at least one other of the compartments. A method for adapting a filtration system for cleaning thereof and a method for withdrawing permeate from a substrate using a filtration system are also provided.

A system is provided for withdrawing permeate from a substrate through a filter and for cleaning the filter in situ. The system includes a vessel configured to contain a substrate and a compartment connected to receive substrate from the vessel and connected to return a portion of received substrate to the vessel during normal operation of the system. The system also includes a filter positioned at least partially within the compartment to withdraw permeate from substrate in the compartment during normal operation of the system. A source of cleaning solution is connected to the compartment to deliver cleaning solution into the compartment and into contact with the filter during cleaning operation of the system. The compartment facilitates circulation of substrate in the vessel during normal operation of the system and substantially prevents introduction of cleaning solution from the compartment into contact with substrate contained in the vessel during cleaning operation. A method is also provided.

An apparatus and method is provided for removing contaminants from a gas, wherein the gas flows through a gas treatment chamber having a biological treatment zone and a chemical treatment zone. The amount of a chemical treatment agent that is introduced into the chemical treatment zone is adjusted in response to a sensed condition or conditions.

Biofiltration apparatus and method with chemical pre-treatment of

A filter and method are provided for removing contaminants from gas. The filter includes a frame member, gas-permeable supports positioned in openings defined by the frame member, and a biofiltration material in the supports including a filter substrate and a microbial population. Contaminants are removed from gas that flows through the filter as a result of contact between the contaminants and moisture contained in the biofiltration material and are degraded by the microbial population resident therein.
