PFAS: Thermal Treatment Technologies (webinar)

Note: This webinar is presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states, and the strategies and technologies discussed should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members.

Rebecca DiStefano, Calgon Carbon presented Thermal Destruction of PFAS During Full-scale Reactivation of PFAS-laden Granular Activated Carbon [PDF]. Rebecca reviewed the results of PFAS testing during full-scale reactivation of PFAS-laden GAC. Targeted PFAS analysis was conducted on the inputs and outputs of the system. The results show that under typical operating conditions, the system demonstrated both the full removal of PFAS compounds from the GAC and >99.99% destruction of PFAS compounds through the furnace and abatement systems.

Robert Martin, Clean Earth presented Developments in the Remediation of PFAS Contaminated Soil by Thermal Desorption [PDF]. Rob provided an overview of thermal desorption, Clean Earth’s research projects and results, as well as data from other thermal desorption companies, developing PFAS destruction science, and thermal desorption information resources.
