AquaPRS PFAS Removal System
The AquaPRS™ PFAS Removal System utilizes a unique sorbent suspension to adsorb per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a robust separator to extract clean water from the suspension. The turbulent adsorbent slurry prevents biofouling and controls solids and mineral buildup.
Additionally, the adsorbent material is specially engineered to adsorb much more PFAS than can be adsorbed by the same amount of other adsorbents or ion-exchange resins, resulting in significantly less life cycle costs. The process is completely automated, including replacement of the adsorbent, and allows parameter adjustments in response to varying influent concentrations of PFAS. Single stage operation removes PFAS/PFOA and other regulated PFAS contaminants to levels below EPA standards with low to moderate influent levels. For high PFAS concentrations or difficult influent water characteristics, a two-stage configuration/operation can achieve effluent levels to meet EPA effluent standards.
Advantages
- Fouling and scaling controlled by slurried adsorbent
- Adsorption rates are significantly higher than granular activated carbon (GAC) or ion-exchange resin (IX Resin)
- Waste volumes are substantially lower when compared to GAC or IX Resin
- Enhanced removal of short-chain PFAS in a single process
- Process is completely automated, including adsorbent replacement
- Minimal operator attention needed
- Significantly higher effluent quality compared to other technologies through a wide range of influent PFAS levels, from low to 40,000+ ppt
