AqueoUS Vets® Custom GAC Systems Offer Comprehensive Solution For PFAS And VOC Compound Removal For Golden State Water Company

Serving California for more than 90 years, Golden State Water Company (GSWC) provides water service to more than 1 million customers in over 80 communities, including the City of Norwalk.

GSWC water treatment plant previously employed air strippers to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in well water including 1,1 dichloroethylene (DCE), trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE). When water quality tests indicated elevated levels of PFOS and PFOA above response levels, GSWC sought to outfit the water treatment plant with filtration technology that could remove both the VOCs and PFAS compounds by installing granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment systems. The target removal for PFOS-PFOA levels was non-detect and less than 0.5 ppb for 1,1 DCE, TCE and PCE.
