In Situ Treatment for PFAS-Impacted Soils and Groundwater in Source Areas
SourceStop® prevents leaching of PFAS from soils and halts further migration in groundwater to eliminate the risk to downgradient receptors. Available in Liquid and Solid formulations, SourceStop’s colloidal activated carbon (CAC) technology provides unsurpassed distribution, penetrating and permanently coating impacted soils.
Engineered for easy application, rapid results and long-term treatment, SourceStop is an adaptable and affordable solution for PFAS sites.

SourceStop - Solid
What does it treat?
PFAS contaminated soils in the source area
What is it?
Engineered composite aggregate (0.5-2.0mm) material, comprising colloidal activated carbon (1-2µm) and powdered activated carbon (20µm).
How is it applied?
SourceStop is easily mixed into the impacted soils using excavators/site equipment. Designed to be low dust and rapidly applied, the composites disintegrate quickly, releasing colloidal activated carbon to penetrate and coat the target soils. This black coating makes the mixing process straightforward onsite as it shows which soils have been fully mixed and which are not yet (fully) mixed.
What does it do?
Rapidly and permanently reduces the leachability of PFAS on the soils. The discharge of PFAS into the underlying groundwater is therefore minimised, allowing attenuation of the downgradient plume.

SourceStop - Liquid
What does it treat?
PFAS contaminated capillary fringe and groundwater in the source area.
What is it?
A liquid composed of fine particles of colloidal activated carbon (1-2µm) suspended in water.
How is it applied?
It is injected into the capillary fringe and aquifer at low pressure using direct push technology. It can also be spray-applied into excavation bases.
What does it do?
Prevents discharge of PFAS contamination from the air water interface in the capillary fringe. Sorbs and prevents further movement of dissolved PFAS contamination in the groundwater, allowing the downgradient plume to attenuate.
