The issue of PFAS pollution is rapidly becoming a major environmental concern for all industrial sectors, including the water industry, chemicals producers, waste processors and bioenergy operators. This group of so-called ‘forever chemicals’ is extremely widespread and long-lived in the environment, with some examples known to demonstrate serious health risks. The biosolids and bioresources sector is similarly affected by this group of omnipresent man-made chemicals. Activated carbon has been identified as a ‘best available technique’ for the removal of PFAS from water and air streams. When combined with advanced thermal reactivation, the PFAS can be completely destroyed and mineralised, whilst at the same time recycling the activated carbon filtration media. Puragen is a UK-based activated carbon company with a global award-winning technology for the abatement and destruction of PFAS group chemicals. Puragen’s unique system is referred to as “Search, Capture & Destroy”. Puragen is the technical leader in the field of PFAS control, and has presented widely at various conference, exhibitions and other industry events on this subject. In this presentation, Puragen will provide an overview of their technology, with case studies and real-world data, to provide attendees with the latest state-of-the-art knowledge on this vitally important environmental issue.
