Case Studies

A textile manufacturing company located in the southeastern part of the United States produced coated textiles using PFAS as a water and oil repellent.

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

The Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC) funded a field study coupling ECT2’s SORBIX™ RePURE Regenerable Ion Exchange Resin (IX) System with Electrochemical Oxidation (EO).

Opportunity At the current time, industry regulations are in the process of changing to require all fire suppression systems using 6 and 8 carbon chain PFAS compounds to change to safer alternative [...]

Opportunity Eielson Air Force Base near Fairbanks, Alaska experienced an unplanned release of 30,000 gallons of wastewater containing concentrated PFAS, and the Air Force Civil Engineer Center sought a system that could [...]

Opportunity In 2016, environmental investigations at the Army Aviation Centre, Oakey, identified per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination in both ground and surface water. The contaminated water had migrated offsite over time [...]
