& TREATMENT

Perfluoroalkyls & Polyfluoroalkyls

Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made carbon-fluorine chemicals, widely used in many industrial and household products. PFAS “forever chemicals” do not naturally degrade. They are highly dangerous to human health and the environment.

 

The accumulation and treatment of PFAS is facing heavy scrutiny in a number of sectors including industrial, municipal and waste management. PFAS are detected in many wastewaters, especially  landfill leachate, due to their widespread uses in consumer and industrial products.

Treating PFAS

PFAS treatment systems need to be carefully engineered, with consideration of specific wastewater chemistry, co-contaminant removals, and the pros and the cons of different treatment options.
Alone, or together, there are multiple choices—including new advances—that need to considered to provide an optimal solution:

  • Granular activated carbon (GAC)
  • Ion-exchange (IX) resins
  • Evaporator Crystallizers such as SaltMaker
  • Nanofiltration (NF) or reverse osmosis (RO) such as XtremeRO

Saltworks can help you to develop new water treatment systems or upgrade existing ones to treat PFAS. Our treatment professionals will help you assess the cost and performance of relevant options. Contact us. Challenge us.

Treating Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Contaminated Wastewater and Landfill Leachate

October 4, 2019

Treating Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Contaminated Wastewater and Landfill Leachate 4 October 2019 Key Takeaways: ​ PFAS chemicals are often referred to as “forever chemicals” since they do not naturally degrade. They have made their way into some water supplies. Adverse health impacts range from cancer to liver disease and fertility disruption. PFAS are detected in wastewaters and landfill leachate due to their widespread uses in consumer and industrial products. Three existing options for removing PFAS from wastewaters: granular activated carbon (GAC), ion-exchange (IX) resins, and high-pressure membrane filtration of nanofiltration and reverse osmosis (RO).
