PFAS was detected in samples pulled from drinking water in the town of Maysville, NC. ECT2 was contacted by engineering firm, TRC, to provide a solution to treat the contaminated water to safe drinking levels.
Airports around the world are finding that PFAS contamination caused by historical airport operations have contaminated nearby groundwater or surface water. One airport in Scandinavia decided that PFAS-contaminated groundwater needed to be remediated.
A Flemish study conducted looked at several PFAS technologies including ion exchange resin. Read this blog to learn about its applications and economics.
In the summer of 2023, ECT2 worked on a project at Fairbanks International Airport in Alaska. Using our FOAM-X technology (foam fractionation), we successfully treated PFAS-contaminated water that had been stored in a fire training pit. From there, the foam containing PFAS waste was transferred to our destruction partner, Aquagga.
We are excited to announce our new PFAS Technology Selection Tool. As PFAS treatment requirements are unique to each situation, treating PFAS cannot be a one-size fits all solution. In the video below, you’ll hear from our PFAS experts Patrick McKeown, P.E. and Nicole Bolea P.E. as they explain why we created this tool and how you can use it for your next PFAS project.
In July 2020, a transformer fire occurred at a power generating station in the Midwestern United States. Over ten fire departments responded to the call to tame the blaze over multiple hours, which resulted in PFAS-containing firefighting foam being released into the environment.
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 [...]
