In this 33rd episode, I discuss What Are The Common Water Remediation Options for AF3 (PFAS/PFOS)?

The complex remediation need of AF3 (AFFF) containing PFAS/PFOS has options that fall into two categories; Separation/Capture and Destruction.

Separation/Capture technologies isolate the PFAS/PFOS and move it from the liquid by having it attach to another material. The other material acts like an absorbent to capture or isolate the contaminate PFAS/PFOS into a concentrated form. While the up front cost of this method seems economical and makes sense, when you consider the fact that you still have it to deal with via transport and disposal, it makes it less economical and not environmentally friendly, as the problem has only been relocated.

Destruction technologies are more environmentally friendly, as they actually focus on actually remediating the contaminate. However, many of these options are classified as destruction technologies, but are more of the same, separation/capture. For the few destruction technologies that do exist, they are expensive pieces of machinery that are not practical as they can only handle small batches.

ELMN8 Decon is a ready to use solution that upon contact breaks down AF3 (AFFF) and the contaminate it contains PFAS/PFOS. ELMN8 Decon actually "remediates" PFAS/PFOS, so it doesn't need to be relocated!
