N2 - A dechlorination process has been designed to achieve desirable elimination rate and sustained removal of chloroform, with little or no by-product formation. The selectivity of bio-filtration, acclimation period, removal profile along bio-filter depth, nutrient consumption, and CH4 and CO2 production have been studied. Anaerobic biofiltration can degrade chloroform ≤ 60% for a feed concentration of 10 ppmv. The dechlorination process is steady and most of the chloroform is converted to methane. The chloroform removal efficiency is > 50% throughout the operational period. Efforts have been performed to overcome some of the challenges during the operation process and to further increase the removal efficiency. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 105th AWMA Annual Conference and Exhibition 2012 (San Antonio, TX 6/19-22/2012).
