7 Reasons to Choose In-Situ PFAS Remediation

eBook highlights:

• In situ remediation is the lowest-cost option, representing less than 1/3 the cost vs. a pump and treat solution
• The process generates no PFAS waste materials, eliminating the need for disposal or treatment
• With no permanent equipment to maintain in situ remediation simplifies the process and eliminates the need for ongoing operation & maintenance (O&M)

This ebook examines 7 Reasons to choose in situ PFAS remediation, which treats PFAS contaminants directly below the ground surface. This remediation alternative converts the aquifer into a subsurface filter by applying a technological innovation known as colloidal activated carbon (CAC), commercially offered as PlumeStop® and SourceStop®. In simple terms, preventing PFAS exposure risk comes down to a choice between treating PFAS aboveground or belowground. Both options are considered PFAS remediation, preventing the migration of these chemicals to eliminate or reduce the exposure risk (ITRC, 2020). However, the choice between aboveground or belowground approaches can have significant and lasting consequences relating to cost, community protection, and long-term liabilities for site owners, operators, and responsible parties dealing with PFAS contamination in groundwater.
