Abstract:
1. A system for reducing the perchlorate load on a perchlorate-loaded anion exchange resin and producing a reduced perchlorate load anion exchange resin comprising: a source of perchlorate-destroying microorganism fluid product, a resin contact reaction zone containing perchlorate-loaded anion exchange resin and in which the perchlorate-loaded anion exchange resin is directly contacted with the perchlorate-destroying microorganism fluid product provided by the source at conditions under which the perchlorate-destroying microorganism fluid product reacts with the perchlorate load present on the perchlorate-loaded anion exchange resin converting perchlorate to nonperchlorate reaction products thereby producing a reduced perchlorate load anion exchange resin, and a separator for separating the reduced perchlorate load anion exchange resin from the perchlorate-destroying microorganism fluid product.
