ARA operates a 20,000 square-foot facility in Panama City, FL. which includes 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 of perchlorate
  • 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 perchlorate biodegradation
    and ion exchange on-site testing
  • Laboratory and field-test engineering and technician support
  • Design, engineering, startup, and operational support for perchlorate treatment systems
  • Owner-operated and lease options for commercial perchlorate treatment systems
