CANADIAN DRINKING WATER QUALITY - AND POLYFLUOROALKYL (PFAS)Something I read recently and I would say Pyrogenesis is ahead of the curve...this is one reason why I'm invested for the long game. Will be a trillion $$ business, globally, in years to come and we have a poker in the fire and it's getting red hot.
The effectiveness of drinking water treatment for PFAS removal will depend on several factors, including source water characteristics, concentration and type of PFAS, treatment goals and proper operation of the system at all times. Disposal or manipulation of sorptive media, concentrates or residuals is an important consideration when selecting a treatment technology for PFAS removal. For example, spent filtration (such as powdered activated carbon [PAC] and granular activated carbon [GAC]) and ion-exchange media will require specialized disposal, such as high-temperature reactivation/destruction, to avoid release of PFAS back into the environment. Similarly, membrane technologies generate PFAS liquid residuals (for example, membrane reject water) that will require treatment and/or specialized disposal (U.S. EPA, 2022b). The destruction of PFAS (for example, in treatment residuals or exhausted media) is a complex and rapidly growing area of research. Most PFAS destructive technologies are in the developmental stage
