Environmental Treatment Process Development and Testing

ARA owns and operates a 20,000 sq. ft facility in Panama City, FL. Facilities include a microbial biodegradation laboratory with wet chemistry and media preparation capabilities, an analytical laboratory, and a fabrication and demonstration high bay. The laboratories are equipped to conduct biodegradation testing, ion exchange resin testing and regeneration, thermal treatment, catalytic evaluations, and supercritical and hydrothermal oxidation testing. The analytical laboratory is equipped with a Dionex DX-500 Ion Chromatography, an HP Series 1100 HPLC, an HP 5890 Series II GC, an HP 6890 GC with MS, and necessary support equipment. Key capabilities include:

• Laboratory through pilot-scale equipment for biodegradation

• (2.5 liter through 300-gallon reactor vessels), ion exchange, and hydrothermal testing

• Shop-fabricated components and pilot systems

• Transportable, trailer-mounted treatment systems for biodegradation and ion exchange

• Laboratory and field-test engineering and technician support

• Design, engineering, startup, and operational support

• Owner-operated and lease options for commercial treatment systems
