Vadose FLUORO-SORB - PFAS Removal Media
The FLUORO-SORB adsorbent by Vadose Remediation is a specialized NSF-certified adsorption media designed to effectively treat multiple forms of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), surpassing other products by providing a comprehensive binding capacity across a wide array of removal processes. Its unique feature is a modified surface that minimizes competitive adsorption, allowing for superior performance in treating groundwater and other contaminated environments. The media can be applied in various configurations including flow-through filtration systems, permeable reactive barriers, and in-situ stabilization treatments. Known for its fast kinetics with an effective empty bed contact time of just 2-3 minutes, FLUORO-SORB enables significant reductions in required media volume, realizing cost savings through extended media bed life and less frequent changeouts. It's also adaptable in varying particle sizes for tailored applications, making it a versatile and functional choice for complex remediation projects. For further optimization, it may be deployed using methodologies like injection within groundwater plumes and incorporation in a composite geotextile mat for sediment capping.
FLUORO-SORB adsorbent is a proprietary, NSF-certified adsorption media that is proven to effectively treat multiple variants of PFAS. Unlike other sorbent products that are selective and unpredictable in adsorbing PFAS, FLUORO-SORB adsorbent binds the entire spectrum of PFAS and in a wide variety of removal and remediation processes. With a specially modified surface, FLUORO-SORB adsorbent resists competitive adsorption from other water and sediment contaminants making it a more effective and efficient choice. FLUORO-SORB applications are versatile, with deployment available in the following methods:
- Flow-through filtration technology for drinking and/or groundwater
- Permeable Reactive Barrier (PRB) for passive groundwater
- In-situ stabilization for source zone treatment
- Injection within a groundwater plume
- Within a CETCO REACTIVE CORE MAT® composite geotextile mat for sediment capping
- Pre- or post-treatment in connection with other treatment media
- Fast kinetics, with an effective empty bed contact time (EBCT) of 2-3 minutes, resulting in less media and a smaller footprint to achieve the same treatment goal as a longer EBCT media.
- Limited to no effect from co-contaminants. See FS-102 on Effect of Co-Contaminants and Water Chemistry.
- Greater sorption capacity than leading medias, allowing for a longer media bedlife and less frequent changeouts. See FS-105 for Results of the Orange County Water District Pilot Study
- Cost effective as compared to other leading medias, with less media and less frequent changeouts required to achieve similar performance.
