ECT2’s research and development team has developed a novel technology called NanoSORBTM that leverages the activated sludge process tankage for PFAS removal.

As an essential tool for firefighting agencies and emergency services worldwide, Aqueous Film Forming Foams (AFFF) have been favored to provide a rapid and effective solution to suppress fires. Unfortunately, AFFF contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) which have both adverse environmental impact and potential health risks.

SORBIX R SERIES ECT2’s Regenerable System is designed to regenerate the SORBIX RePURE ion exchange resin used in the Series M and Series T product lines. 

LC (Low Concentrations) Model Designed to treat low concentrations (<20 µg/l) of PFAS contaminated water from construction dewatering activities, and other short to medium-term treatment requirements. These systems manage a range of flow rates up to 100 GPM (6 L/sec) and include pre-treatment.

RR (Rapid Response) Model The RR Models can be shipped and assembled quickly; ideal for rapid response situations. Models come in several sizes and can be configured in series or parallel to accommodate higher flow rates or additional treatment options. The small footprint and simple design allows for rapid deployment of PFAS treatment.

The SORBIX™ M Series systems are housed in single shipping containers, designed to meet the demands of rapid installation and start-up. Systems include pre-treatment, as required, are configured for SORBIX PURE or SORBIX RePURE resins, and come in 50, 100, 200, and 200+ GPM (3, 6, 12 and 12+ L/sec) models.

ECT2’s SORBIX™ H Series is designed for applications requiring flow rates of up to 1,357 GPM per vessel, such as drinking water systems. Additional vessel trains can be added to achieve any required flow rate.

ECT2’s SORBIX™ L Series is designed for projects requiring flow rates of 35 GPM or less. For optimum performance, two vessels should be installed in a lead/lag configuration.

ECT2 has ready-to-run Pilot PS Series for rapid deployment and implementation around the world.

In a high-stakes effort to protect the drinking water for 10,000 people near the Pease Air Force Base in Portsmouth, NH, ECT2 spearheaded a pilot study to combat PFAS contamination in the region's water supply.

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.

ECT2 was approached by a remote refinery in Alaska that had found PFAS in their wastewater stream.

Read about how ECT2 was able to help a customer and their engineering team design and install a treatment system quickly after PFAS were detected in their drinking water.
