Removal and Destruction of PFAS and Co-Occurring Chemicals from Groundwater via Extraction and Treatment with Ion Exchange Media, and On-Site Regeneration, Distillation, and Plasma Destruction

Abstract

This Pilot Study Final Report presents the results and conclusions of the ESTCP ER18-5015 pilot study, conducted at former Pease Air Force Base In Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The purpose of the pilot study was to further prove the effectiveness and develop scale-up criteria for integrating a per- and poly- fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) treatment and destruction technology into existing groundwater treatment systems. To help the Department of Defense manage environmental liabilities associated with PFAS contamination at DoD installations, the pilot study evaluated the effectiveness of four PFAS Treatment and Destruction Train i.e., ion exchange resin, resin regeneration, distillation of spent regenerant, and low energy plasma destruction of concentrated PFAS waste.
