In this webinar we were pleased to have a presentation by Dr. Jeremy Birnstingl (VP of Environmental Technology, REGENESIS in Europe). Our webinar focuses on a study* of the current operating cost of a PFAS plume containment system at a former U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) air force base in Michigan. A detailed comparison is made between the costs of the pump-and-treat system with that of installing a passive in situ Colloidal Activated Carbon (CAC) adsorption barrier.
Key points covered:
- Study Context – An overview of regulatory guidelines and goals for PFAS groundwater remediation
- Site-Specific Details – Former Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Michigan
- Discussion of the current pump and treat approach and alternative CAC system
- Comprehensive cost comparison – Detailed comparison of the costs of the current system, with the costs of an in situ CAC filtration system using worked examples from public domain data.
