What are PFAS?
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals (commonly known as “forever” or GenX chemicals) that include the long-chain fluorinated compounds PFOA and PFOS. PFAS chemicals are utilized in industrial applications and consumer products. They are widely used to make products more stain-resistant, waterproof, and nonstick.
Exposure to PFAS
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are manmade chemicals persistent in the following:
- Soil
- Surface & groundwater
- Drinking water
- Human body
- The atmosphere
Treatment of PFAS in Groundwater
A specialized water treatment system is needed to treat and discharge any water from sites where PFAS contamination is present. Carbon adsorption systems are a popular choice when treating PFAS contamination in stormwater and groundwater but may not always be the most cost-effective solution.
- Innovative mix of filtration media is used to treat for long and short chain PFAAs
- Lead-lag series configuration is used in treatment methodology to ensure detection of media breakthrough to prevent any out of compliance discharges
- Treated water is comprehensively tested and reduced to permitted discharge levels at end of the treatment train
