Relying on a combination of the adsorptive properties of activated carbon and the hydrocarbon-consuming behavior of certain bacteria, the reactor can handle the operating extremes of remote gas production sites as well as a range of salinities and oil concentrations. These organisms feed on organic contaminants, turning them into harmless oxi-dation byproducts. The system has a small footprint and is, therefore, ideal for applications where space is limited.
Cost varies based on size and application.
