In this webinar we are pleased to have a special presentation by Scott Wilson, President & CEO of REGENESIS. In this presentation he discusses eliminating risk of PFAS contamination in soil and groundwater via low-cost in situ remediation with colloidal activated carbon. By coating flux zones of an aquifer with colloidal activated carbon, a permeable sorption barrier is created in situ, purifying groundwater as it passively migrates. PFAS constituents from up-gradient source zones are rapidly sorbed to the carbon and removed from the mobile dissolved phase. By removing PFAS from the mobile phase, the route of exposure to down-gradient receptors is eliminated, thereby eliminating the down-gradient public health risk associated with PFAS.
This webinar addresses how:
- In situ remediation with colloidal activated carbon eliminates risk of PFAS at a low cost
- Colloidal carbon isotherm data and sorption test data for PFAS indicate excellent sorption capability and increased performance with decreasing carbon particle size
- A single application of colloidal activated carbon at an actual field case site resulted in orders of magnitude reduction in PFAS groundwater concentrations to below USEPA health advisory levels
