Comparison with Pump & Treat
In Situ vs. Ex Situ Treatment
Technically viable methods currently employed to treat PFAS-contaminated groundwater rely on chemical sorption and can be grouped into two categories: ex situ and in situ. Ex situ treatments are well known, involving mechanical groundwater extraction and filtration using granular activated carbon or other filtration media (i.e., ion-exchange resins). Due to the extensive nature of most PFAS plumes combined with exceedingly low clean-up targets, pump and treat (P&T) systems will require decades of costly operation and maintenance (O&M).
O&M includes periodic changing out of the spent filtration media. In the USA, two of the most problematic compounds; PFOA and PFOS are moving toward an official designation as a Hazardous Substance; hence the spent media is soon to become a Hazardous Waste under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Countries in Europe and across the globe are also assessing strict regulation of these compounds.
In the end, when factoring in many years of sustained pumping and hazardous waste generation, management and disposal, the cost to install and maintain a PFAS P&T system over a project life cycle will be exorbitant.
The PlumeShield-guaranteed advanced remediation system, by contrast, is an in situ PFAS treatment approach that is applied directly into the groundwater aquifer to intercept contaminants that move naturally through established flux zones. As groundwater passes through the filter zone, the PFAS sorb onto the carbon, resulting in a clean water discharge from the downgradient edge. By removing PFAS from groundwater, any potential for exposure to the PFAS is eliminated thus removing any risk to human health or the environment.
