PFAS Removal using Aqueous Electrostatic Concentrators | WEFTEC SERIES 2 | EP 2
Tonya Chandler and Sally Gutierrez of BioLargo explain PFAS removal with aqueous electrostatic concentrators and how it compares with GAC and ion exchange.
In this WEFTEC Series 2 episode of Engineers for Communities, host Michael Groselle sits down with two guests from BioLargo to talk about PFAS contamination and water quality.
They walk through BioLargo's technologies, from aqueous electrostatic concentrator (AEC) units to modular service systems, built for the needs of municipalities and industries.
Guests
Tonya Chandler and Sally Gutierrez of BioLargo.
In this episode
- PFAS detection, its impact on public health, and the changing rules for safe drinking water and wastewater management.
- How BioLargo's AEC unit removes long-chain and short-chain PFAS while keeping waste to a minimum.
- Why PFAS should be treated at several stages, in drinking water, wastewater and landfill leachate, so it is not reintroduced into aquifers.
- How BioLargo uses electro-oxidation to destroy captured PFAS, and offers PFAS removal as a modular service with controlled off-site destruction.
- How these options compare with granular activated carbon (GAC) and ion exchange treatment.
