EPOC Enviro’s Post

EPOC Enviro is now operating four #SAFF® #PFAS remediation systems to remediate up to 1.1 million litres of PFAS impacted waters daily at one of the largest trade waste PFAS remediation treatment facilities in the USA. The technology, which consists of three flagship #SAFF40® systems and one SAFF® Hyper-Concentrator, is working in a quadruple stack to separate and concentrate PFAS from heavily contaminated waters sourced from across the continental U.S. at Grand Rapids in Michigan.

Tight Tech Tuesday loves this quadruple #FoamFractionation set up for effective, economic and sustainable leachate treatment Leachates are a special type of water - ever changing with each site. High DOC, suspended solids, total organic matter, metals, salinity, animals and algae... yeah there really is no end to the different types of challenges these water can offer. And this is the reason it is so hard to treat. Filtermedia Activated Carbon struggles with all from particles to DOC and organics, as is AIX with salts, metals and biofouling. Foam Fractionation on the other hand is not. I have been working with the #SAFF technology by EPOC Enviro for >5 years, and I am still amazed after every water we treat how robust it is. The very first SAFF system ever installed to treat leachate has treated approx 400 000 m3 of leachate containing various contaminants, massive algae growths, "prawn like animals" massive DOC levels and salts for 4 years, never breaking guideline criteria. Removing up to 99% of all long chain PFAS, including PFNA, PFOS, PFOA, PFHxS and 6:2 FTS. And this using Only air, no consumables and producing minimum waste (<5 M3 per 100 000 M3 treated) . At a flow rate of up to 25 m3/h per SAFF unit. And the journey continues, as additives researched by Allonnia are now introduced to the batch treatment, allowing removal of up to 99% of shorter chain PFAS PFBS and PFHXA, as well as approx 60-70% PFPeA and 40% PFBA. And that's using only air, producing minimal waste (< 5 - 10 m3 per 100 000 m3) and a pinch of chemicals that are removed in the process. Now that's cool in my book.

Tougher US federal limits on PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” will prompt potentially exposed parties like manufacturers, municipalities and utilities to address liability risks. Complying with the rules and cleaning up contamination could require $300 billion of additional spending by 2040, according to Scott Levine, senior industrial services analyst. Nearly $200 billion of which may flow to environmental companies, like AECOM and Jacobs, waste processors including Clean Harbors and Veolia and water solutions providers such as Xylem could gain revenue from PFAS remediation. https://lnkd.in/eddYcaPQ #foreeverchemicals #contamination #PFAS

EPA has released updated interim guidance on how to dispose of and destroy certain PFAS compounds. The updated guidance reflects the latest, best available science to provide information that managers of PFAS wastes can use to evaluate the most appropriate destruction, disposal, or storage method among those currently available. As usual, GWTT will be following these updates closely and integrating the guidance into our water treatment solutions for PFAS remediation. #PFAS #EPA #foreverchemicals #PFOS #PFOA #GWTT #watertreatment #environmentalremediation https://lnkd.in/e6egCsnZ

New to the world of #PFAS remediation? We highly recommend this article in Waste Advantage Magazine which highlights how PFAS has become a global contaminant, its prevalence in #landfillleachate, and then summarises some of the PFAS remediation and destruction technologies currently on the market. You can view the article here 👇 https://lnkd.in/gbYZZnNg Eagle eyed readers may spot EPOC Enviro's #SAFF® technology in the images. SAFF® technology has pioneered the use of foam fractionation to separate and concentrate target PFAS contaminants from impacted waters, permanently removing them from the environment. The technology has recently achieved a 1 billion litres remediation milestone.

"Clean and reliable drinking water is the main concern, but the process is not as easy as flipping a switch. We continue to work as hard as we can. I get it, people are frustrated and we want to deliver safer drinking water." Many places are struggling with this same challenge. PFAS are difficult to remove from water. AIMM is working to remove a broader range of them and make water safer for everyone. #safewater #safewaterforall #waterfilter #waterfiltration #waterfilters #nanotechnology #nanotech #nanomaterials #aimmlabs #pfas #foreverchemicals #water https://lnkd.in/g7Swz3xk

Curious about effective #PFAS remediation technologies and heading to #Battelle’s #2024ChlorinatedConference in Denver, Colorado from 2-6 June to learn more? You don’t want to miss EPOC Enviro's President, Peter Murphy, when he delivers a platform presentation and a poster with each focusing on the often overlooked complexities of PFAS disposal into waste streams. 📍 PFAS Waste Maze - poster presentation Wed, 5 June: 4.30 – 6.30pm – Exhibit Hall 📍 Defining the scale and complexity of the PFAS problem in solid waste - platform presentation Thurs, 6 June: 12.35 - 1.00pm – Mile High Ballroom, Rooms 4a-4c Attend either presentation to learn more about: 💧 How landfills are the ideal intersection point to effectively remediate PFAS 💧 How untreated PFAS at the landfill leachate site can migrate to biosolids before re-entering the environment as fertilizer and contaminating the food chain Pete will also be joining Allonnia, our North American distributors, at Booth 228. Drop in to chat about all things #SAFF and learn more about how we use the power of air to sustainably and permanently remove toxic PFAS contaminants from the environment. #PFASRemediation #PFASSolutions #NaturallyElegant #EverywhereChemicals #SurfaceActiveFoamFractionation

What’s happening with PFAS clean-up across Australia? And is it even possible? ISF’s Dr Rachael Wakefield-Rann and Sarah Wilson explore these questions in their recently published article in The Conversation Australia + NZ. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were once hailed as wonder materials, but these compounds also have a dark side that’s earned them the nickname “forever chemicals”. As the science and technology continues to develop, it is more important than ever to adopt a whole-of-supply-chain approach to PFAS management.
