Improved Longevity and Selectivity of PFAS Groundwater Treatment Using Sub-Micron Powdered Activated Carbon (SPAC) and Ceramic Membrane Filtration (CMF)

Abstract

This project presents the results of the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) demonstration conducted at Horsham Air Guard Station (AGS) and former Naval Air Station (NAS) at Willow Grove in Horsham, Pennsylvania: sub-micron powdered activated carbon (SPAC) coupled with ceramic membrane filtration (CMF) to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The objective of the project was to demonstrate and validate the application of the SPAC-CMF treatment approach to reduce the total life-cycle cost of treating PFAS-impacted groundwater.
