CONTAMINANT REMOVAL RESOURCES
-
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.
-
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.

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.

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.

While performance and cost matter, there are a range of other factors that can have a substantial impact on the overall viability and success of a solution.
-
Cartridge-based PFAS removal systems mitigate the risk of operator exposure, cross contamination, as well as the re-introduction of PFAS into the environment during or after disposal.
-
With funds falling short of costs for pending PFAS rules compliance, utilities require an economical treatment solution.
-
PFAS removal cartridges offer several health, safety, and sustainability advantages over bulk media systems.
-
Analyzing a GAC sample reveals if the media should be reactivated or disposed of. Therefore, it is critical that operators follow this definitive guide for pulling a representative sample.

Monitoring and reporting software helps utilities meet compliance requirements.
