通过实验室和中试研究，使用 醋酸盐和氢都是电子供体。使用醋酸纤维的中试规模演示 序批式反应器（SBR）表明，该工艺能够持续降低 废盐水（6%NaCl）中的高氯酸盐和硝酸盐浓度低于处理目标（ClO₄^- <100µg/L和NO₃^-<0.5 mg/L）持续20个循环。使用100 mg/L高氯酸盐进行台架试验 而100mg/L硝酸盐负载的合成盐水表明，氢供料膜生物膜反应器 （MBfR）可以证明硝酸盐减少约100%，高氯酸盐减少约60%。 包括20个参考文献、表格和图表。

The biological brine treatment was evaluated through both bench- and pilot-scale studies using both acetate and hydrogen as electron donors. Pilot-scale demonstration using acetate-fed sequencing batch reactor (SBR) showed that the process was able to consistently reduce perchlorate and nitrate concentrations in the spent brine (6% NaCl) below treatment goals (ClO₄^- < 100 µg/L and NO₃^- < 0.5 mg/L) for 20 cycles. Bench-scale testing with 100 mg/L perchlorate and 100 mg/L nitrate laden synthetic brine showed that hydrogen-fed membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) could demonstrate about 100% nitrate reduction and about 60% perchlorate reduction.
