By now, most of us know how hazardous the release of #PFAS into the environment is. 💡 However, the technology exists to eliminate PFAS completely and permanently. Want to hear more?

I can't believe my ski wax might be part of the PFAS problem. But it likely is. #PFAS is everywhere. But how does it play into #biosolids management and the water industry? My Stantec colleague Dru Whitlock, PE offers some guidance in our latest blog. #StantecWater #AlaskaProblems

💭Imagine in a perfect world of #PFAS remediation, PFAS impacted waters could arrive by rail or by truck from across the nation. Upon arrival to a central processing facility, the waters would be stored in large holding tanks, before being transferred to a bank of effective and sustainable PFAS remediation technologies working in tandem and at scale to separate and concentrate PFAS. Clients have the satisfaction that their PFAS problem has been effectively resolved and is no longer their responsibility. And the world breathes a sigh of relief that PFAS contaminants are being reduced globally, and that it’s being managed in a sustainable and effective manner. Sounds like a fairy tale?! Think again. This high volume / high impact scenario is playing out right now in the USA, where EPOC Enviro’s #SAFF® family of PFAS remediation technologies is working collectively to remediate PFAS impacted waters which have been sourced from across the country at a facility owned by Crystal Clean in Grand Rapids.

Check out this intriguing article from #3E regarding the heightened scrutiny surrounding the classification of #PFOA and #PFOS as hazardous substances. It underscores the growing complexity of regulatory environments. If you're interested in understanding how this shift might affect your supply chain and products, feel free to reach out to me for further insights. Happy to have conversations around this topic to learn and share with each other.

In this DEEP DIVE, #3E's Senior Reporter Sandy Smith covers a U.S. EPA final rule that designates perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) as hazardous substances under CERCLA/Superfund. The rule requires polluters to pay for the cost of cleaning up contamination related to PFOA and PFOS. #3E #PFAS #PFOA #CERCLA

Concentration is key in #PFAS remediation! Why? PFAS compounds are typically found in very low concentrations within huge volumes of water. For destruction to be commercially viable, PFAS contaminants need to be concentrated. Otherwise, the high energy and cost of the destruction process would end up targeting mostly water. And that‘s in nobody‘s interests. EPOC Enviro’s #SAFF® Hyper-Concentrator is purpose designed to turbo charge the concentration process, pairing with #SAFF® and then handshaking with PFAS destruction technologies. For more information about the SAFF® Hyper-Concentrator, please email info@epocenviro.com for a prompt response.   #PFASRemediation #PFASSolutions #PFASConcentration #PFASEvolution #PoweredByAir #NaturallyElegant

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.
