This ebook outlines 8 reasons to consider colloidal activated carbon to treat PFAS contaminated military sites. While no single technology is optimal for all situations, under the right circumstances, colloidal activated carbon should be considered whenever designing a PFAS remediation strategy given its proven success at highly contaminated sites including military bases among others.
- Immediately stop the spread of PFAS, eliminating risk to human health and the environment
- Proven cost-effective compared to other remedial technologies
- Remediation that lasts for decades without the need for ongoing management
- In Situ applications are minimally disruptive, faster to implement and have shorter project lifecycles
The most prevalent method to treat PFAS is an ex situ pump and treat system with activated carbon filters. But this process is challenged by the wide-area and dilute nature of PFAS plumes. Additionally, pump and treat system’s high operating costs can make it impractical for organizations operating within tightly controlled budgets. Recognizing these challenges, REGENESIS® offers an alternative to traditional remedial technologies, working with clients to apply PlumeStop®, a colloidal suspension of activated carbon particles milled down to 1-2 microns formulated to widely distribute in situ under low pressure.
