PFAS Water Treatment

PFAS (per and polyfluoroalkyl substances) cause disease and serious health issues and are known as ‘Forever Chemicals’ because they do not degrade naturally and are very difficult and costly to treat.

Industries that routinely generate these wastes include industrial, chemical manufacturing, aerospace, textiles, automotive, metal plating, fire fighting and Paper.

WSG AFM can achieve very low discharge levels of PFAS at high flow rates providing our clients the opportunity to reduce its waste volumes, costs and carbon impact.

The WSG AFM system is tailored to the PFAS treatment and is a combination of ‘selective’ filtration media and activation catalyst. It significantly outperforms other common filtration by a 20: 1 ratio in terms of contact times to achieve the contaminant removal allowing significantly faster processing times than other technologies.

AFM achieves unmatched PFAS contaminant removal levels that others cannot effectively treat on-site. The AFM PFAS treatment package has a small onsite footprint, is modular, scalable and suitable for high flow rates up to 100m3/hour with a single package.

The WSG Advanced Filtration Media offers our clients the following benefits: –

• Effective treatment of wastewater contaminated by PFAS that others find difficult to reach.
• Treatment levels down to 0.0002 ppm for post filtered water to disposed of at the local facility / drains or 3^rd party disposal at a much lower cost base.
• Typical hazardous waste disposal reduction of 75% to over 95%.
• Significant disposal cost and carbon footprint reduction compared to alternative disposal routes
