DEXSORB® Treatment At New Jersey Groundwater Pump Station

Groundwater treatment facilities frequently encounter operational setbacks when attempting to control legacy contaminants alongside challenging pre-existing water chemistry. In particular, heavy metal interference—such as elevated levels of dissolved manganese—can lead to severe fouling in traditional ion-exchange media, resulting in diminished performance and accelerated replacement cycles. Upgrading existing vessel infrastructure with specialized, fouling-resistant adsorbent media presents a practical path to restore effective treatment without requiring full system redesigns. Operating across more than 400 continuous days and treating over 8 million gallons of water, this approach maintained low pressure drop and smooth hydraulics while consistently reducing raw influent PFAS concentrations to non-detect levels (<2 ppt). Review the complete operational criteria, water quality parameters, and analytical sampling results to evaluate retrofitting options for complex groundwater applications.
