The effect of the innovative solution PerfluorAd is to remove the bulk of PFAS or PFC contaminats prior to an activated carbon polishing system without breakdown components and with the result that activated carbon life is significantly extended and disposal costs reduced.
Data are derived from a real field application at a European airport. We are happy to share the results. PFC concentration had been up to 700 µg/L. Removal rate achieved more than 90% in the pre-treatment step.
The remediation system is...
Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) are common in Aqueous Film Forming Foams (AFFF) used for firefighting. PFASs are widely distributed across the higher trophic levels and are found in air, soil and groundwater at sites across the U.S. (EPA 505-F-14-001, March 2014). The toxicity, mobility and bioaccumulation potential of PFASs pose potential adverse effects for the environment and human health. They are persistent in the environment, among the strongest organic compounds and thus considered...
