CONTAMINANT REMOVAL RESOURCES

• Are We Setting Ourselves Up For Failure With PFAS?

  Utilities need to revisit mistakes of the past and ask tough questions about what it truly means to treat and remove PFAS.

• 6 Considerations When Preparing For Carbon Media Replacement

  This guide can help operators ensure seamless granular activated carbon (GAC) media changeouts, minimizing downtime and maintaining high water quality standards.

• How To Future-Proof Your Drinking Water Treatment Process

  Ozone and biologically active filtration (O3-BAF) can act as an additional barrier for existing systems to protect against emerging contaminants and water quality events.

• Rapid Small-Scale Column Tests For PFAS Treatment Evaluation

  While pilot columns provide the most accurate estimations for predicting full-scale PFAS treatment performance by GAC or IX resin, they can be costly and time-consuming. Rapid small-scale column tests (RSSCTs) offer significant advantages over pilot columns, including less time, lower costs, less media, smaller sample volume, and faster data turnaround.

• A Multi-Billion-Dollar Water Industry Segment Not To Be Overlooked

  Water resources are a critical component of any region's ecosystems. But, perhaps even more important is the realization that water is also essential for human survival. Its needs cannot be ignored.
• City Of Lodi Employs GAC To Remove Contaminants From Groundwater

  In this case study, read about AV's unique Concept to Commission approach which enabled a team to design, manufacture, and install GAC systems and interconnecting site pipe in just 10 working hours. 

• PFAS Technology Options Provide Water Treatment Solutions

  Per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) continue to dominate the conversation as an emerging contaminant of concern due to their potential for adverse human health effects and continued regulation. This group of chemicals can be found in a wide variety of consumer products and drinking water.
• Introducing AquaKnight™: Revolutionizing Water Filtration For A Cleaner And Safer Tomorrow

  In a world where access to clean and safe water is increasingly vital, AquaKnight emerges as the steadfast guardian of clean drinking water in the ongoing battle against PFAS.

• New Water Quality Standards Will Result In Billions Being Spent To Remediate PFAS Contamination

  Recently, the U.S. EPA announced long-awaited water quality standards outlining the maximum contaminant levels for PFAS contaminants in drinking water. This marks the first time national standards for a new contaminant have been added to the Safe Drinking Water Act since 1996. It represents, without doubt, an ominous alert that should be noted.
• Removing PFAS From Public Water Systems Will Cost Billions And Take Time — Here Are Ways You Can Filter Out Harmful 'Forever Chemicals' At Home

  My team at the University of Notre Dame works on solving problems involving contaminants in water systems, including PFAS. We explore new technologies to remove PFAS from drinking water and to handle the PFAS waste. Here’s a glimpse of the magnitude of the challenge and ways you can reduce PFAS in your own drinking water.
