RE:PFASInteresting article on PFAS:
Groundbreaking study shows unaffordable costs of PFAS cleanup from wastewater https://www.pca.state.mn.us/news-and-stories/groundbreaking-study-shows-unaffordable-costs-of-pfas-cleanup-from-wastewater Note that except for foam fractionation, liquid treatment technologies currently available at commercial scales (i.e., GAC, AIX, modified clay, and RO) are considered general water treatment options; they remove many parameters and are not specifically designed for PFAS removal. More targeted technologies to further concentrate and destroy PFAS are being developed and have been demonstrated at bench and pilot scales. These technologies (including electrochemical oxidation, electrochemical or UV-assisted reduction, HALT, and SCWO) could potentially provide lower-cost and better implementable treatment at individual facilities, perhaps reducing or eliminating the need for regional or out-of-state high-temperature incineration facilities. However, due to investment and staffing challenges, the capacity of these technology vendors to scale-up equipment production is limited.
Would seem to support yesterday's news release and explain why the previous client went back to purchasing a PYR torch. Besides incineration or pyrolysis, there isn't a readily available solution for PFAS.
