In-Situ PFAS Remediation: A Low-Cost Approach to Avoiding Long-Term Risk and Liability

eBook highlights:

• Pump-and-treat is expensive and ineffective at treating PFAS
• Pump-and-treat increases PFAS exposure risk
• In situ approach avoids PFAS waste
• In situ remediation using colloidal activated carbon offers rapid long-term effectiveness and is less than 1/3 the cost of pump-and-treat

This eBook examines and compares the available remediation technologies for addressing PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in groundwater. The available options to remediate these contaminants involve ex situ mechanical pump-and-treat systems or in situ remediation. Both approaches contain PFAS plumes from migrating, thereby preventing exposure risk; however, in situ remediation has several important advantages, detailed in this eBook. Considering these benefits, in situ remediation with PlumeStop and SourceStop will emerge as the only logical solution to prevent PFAS exposure risk at many impacted facilities.
