Achieve rapid and effective immobilization of PFAS soils and groundwater in source areas to halt and prevent contaminant movement and drive enhanced natural attenuation of the plume. Protect downgradient receptors and avoid ongoing and uncertain costs with this complete and highly flexible in situ solution.

Treatment Mechanisms

  • PFAS leachability minimisation from soils

    • Preventing further discharge to the groundwater

  • Sorption of PFAS in groundwater and capillary fringe

    • Preventing further migration of the contamination


A Deeper Dive – Why Target Source Zones?


Soil Source Treatment

SourceStop Solid is a low-dust composite aggregate that is easily and rapidly mixed into PFAS impacted soils in the source area. Using our powerful colloidal activated carbon technology, SourceStop Solid penetrates and coats the affected soils, reducing PFAS leachability and preventing further discharge into the groundwater. Learn more about the advantages of using SourceStop Solid:




Groundwater Source Treatment

SourceStop Liquid is injected under low pressure into the source zone capillary fringe and groundwater. This converts the subsurface into a purifying filter, removing high levels of PFAS from the groundwater through sorption, reducing the mass flux of PFAS migrating from the source area.
