Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a group of manmade chemical compounds are an example of an emerging contaminant that is attracting substantial attention of consumers, water professionals, and regulators due to their abundance in soil and drinking water sources, and their potential health effects. Accordingly, local regulation is already in effect in many states, and the EPA is taking measures to control the manufacturing, use, and exposure to PFAS and PFAS waste.

Recently, Rich Cavagnaro and Ronit Erlitzki, from AdEdge Water Technologies, sat down with the Water Online editorial team. The discussion ranged from ways to treat PFAS and water to sustainability to how to facilitate innovation in the water industry.

The Central Valley of California has many potable groundwater systems operating on subsurface wells that have primary and secondary regulatory drinking water issues. Given the very challenging water quality as recognized the Division of Drinking Water, the City of Lemoore, CA water supply (consisting of multiple well clusters) is exceeding the compliance targets for disinfection byproducts (DBPs), mainly total trihalomethanes (TTHMs).

A southwestern (AZ) community faced a tough challenge to quickly identify an alternative water source and install a new and cost-effective treatment solution in a period of 6 months to provide potable water for the community during the temporary shutdown of the existing surface water treatment plants. This webinar will describe in detail the rationale and design criteria used to build the ultra-high recovery flow-reversal RO system used in this application.

The City of Taylorville, IL, needed to diversify their drinking water sources by bringing unused groundwater wells online to supplement their surface water supply. Unfortunately, their groundwater contained nitrate levels that exceeded regulatory limits and would require treatment.

For water utilities facing various water contamination issues, there is no single catch-all treatment. That is why in this recent Water Talk interview Ronit Erlitzki and Doug Craver of AdEdge Water Technologies share treatment options that can be used alone or in combination to address diverse challenges. They introduce a new reverse osmosis (RO) treatment technique capable of raising recovery rates by 20 percent and reducing concentrate volume up to 70 percent vs. conventional RO (depending on water quality). They also explore biological processes for removing nitrate, VOC, ammonia, etc. and treating high brine concentrations in wastewater, plus techniques for resolving ammonia problems in water with high TOC concentrations.

Arsenic, iron, manganese, and sulfide (AIMS) are common groundwater contaminants that have serious concerns both aesthetically and from a health perspective. Well-established treatment processes — oxidation/filtration and coagulation/filtration — are the industry standard for treating these contaminants; however, innovative medias can provide many benefits that traditional technologies lack, such as lower capital and operating costs. 

There are a variety of technology vendors serving the water and wastewater industry, and many offer products and prices that are very comparable. Sometimes the differentiator comes down to the service, which is driven by company culture.
