Wastewater treatment facilities in the United States have implemented PerfluorAd™ for PFAS removal. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) remain among the most problematic water contaminants in the United States. While regulatory standards continue to tighten, with national maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) recently set at 4 ppt for PFOA and PFOS, industrial and municipal treatment facilities are faced with increasing amounts of wastewater containing PFAS, often exceeding tens of thousands of ppt. For waste disposal companies, these pressures create operational bottlenecks, slowdowns and high disposal costs. Waste treatment facilities in the Great Lakes region of the United States faced exactly these…
