Article | Pandora’s PFAS Box: Life Cycle Exposure Considerations of Treatment Options for PFAS in Groundwater

In the Spring Issue of Remediation Journal, Linda Hall, John Wilson, PhD, and Jeremy Birnstingl, PhD, discuss PFAS exposure risks associated with pump-and-treat solutions for groundwater.

In This Article, Learn More About:

  • Human exposure potential throughout the life cycle of various remediation technologies.
  • A colloidal activated carbon technology used in situ, which avoids surface contamination, generates no PFAS waste, and eliminates PFAS risk and human exposure.
  • The principal difference between pump and treat and in situ colloidal activated carbon.

Free Webinar | SourceStop: Effective PFAS Treatment for Soil and Groundwater in Source Areas

This webinar presentation by Paul Erickson, PhD, VP of Research & Development, and Steve Barnes, Director of Remediation Services, provides an overview of a new technology for the effective treatment of PFAS-contaminated soil and groundwater in the source area.

Webinar Highlights:

  • Available in solid and liquid formulations, SourceStop® allows treatment to be customized to meet the specific needs of any site.
  • Significantly reduces the leaching of soil contamination and halts the migration of PFAS in groundwater, eliminating risk to downgradient receptors.
  • Safe and easy to handle, SourceStop liquid and solid formats can be used independently, in combination, or with a downgradient PlumeStop barrier to provide a complete, low-cost, zero-waste solution for PFAS sites.

eBook | Why Target PFAS Source Zones?

Targeting PFAS Source Zones:

  • Accumulation of PFAS in the soil creates significant reservoirs of contaminant mass.
  • These plumes represent a risk to downgradient environmental and human receptors such as potable drinking water wells, surface water bodies, and the aquifer itself. These risks generate potentially significant liabilities for the landowners on which the source areas are located.
  • The PFAS source-plume system can be treated through a targeted application of SourceStop in the source zone.

Upcoming Free Webinar | The Fallacy of Pumping to Remove PFAS from Aquifers & Proven Advantages of In Situ Remediation

We are pleased to have Scott Wilson, President and CEO of REGENESIS share information on the misconceptions surrounding the use of pumping groundwater to flush PFAS from aquifers. In situ PFAS remediation is then explained and an overview is presented of performance expectations of this widely adopted remediation approach.

Webinar Highlights:

  • Elimination of PFAS risk
  • Time required to pump aquifers of PFAS hazard
  • Impact and ramifications of CERCLA designation relating to liability and risk
  • Key scientific research cited in support of in situ remedial approach for PFAS
  • Design of colloidal activated carbon remediation system
  • Longevity of in situ treatment with colloidal carbon
  • Costs of PFAS remediation on actual projects

Article | Less Than 1/3 the Cost Compared to ANY PFAS Pumping Treatment Method

An article in Environmental Science & Engineering discusses a life cycle study conducted by Ramboll that finds colloidal activated carbon results in a greater than 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over the treatment life cycle and is less than 1/3 of the cost as compared to pump and treat methods to address PFAS.
  • Widescale adoption of PlumeStop to mitigate PFAS exposure risk promises to save billions of dollars and eliminate millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions
  • PFAS compounds for treatment were reduced below detection limits at colloidal activated carbon study sites
  • No waste generated (therefore no further potential liability)
