Naples Aviation Authority ARFF Transition

In a groundbreaking effort to help airports transition from harmful PFAS-laden firefighting foams, the Naples Airport Authority enlisted ECT2 to manage the cleanup of PFAS-contaminated vehicles. With the U.S. Department of Defense mandating the switch to fluorine-free alternatives, ECT2's expertise became crucial. Their team successfully developed and implemented an advanced cleaning method, far surpassing traditional techniques.

By leveraging a proprietary cleaning solution, ECT2 effectively removed PFAS from the Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) vehicles, minimizing environmental impact. Unlike conventional triple rinses with water, ECT2’s approach not only reduced PFAS leaching but also generated significantly less wastewater. The results? The lowest PFAS rebound data in the industry, ensuring that the Naples Airport Authority is prepared for the future while complying with new safety regulations.

This innovative project highlights ECT2's ability to solve complex environmental challenges, offering airports an effective, sustainable path to safer firefighting operations. Ready to discover more about this game-changing solution? Read the full case study to find out more.
