PFAS Removal

PFAS Remediation

PFAS remediation systems are responsible for treating water contaminated with polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are man-made chemicals that pose significant risks to human health and the environment. Valves and actuators are used to handle a range of treatment technologies, such as ion exchange, granular activated carbon (GAC) and advanced oxidation processes. PFAS-affected water and treatment chemicals can be hazardous, with valves and actuators preventing cross-contamination and ensuring compliance with stringent, regulatory standards.

Challenges:

• Chemical resistance to PFAS compounds
• Preventing cross-contamination
• High-pressure system demands
• Integration with a multi-stage treatment process
• Regulatory compliance

Solutions:

• Diaphragm valves – Valued for their corrosion-resistant design and compatibility with aggressive PFAS treatment chemicals.
• Check valves – Prevent backflow between treatment stages and protect process integrity.
• Pressure-reducing valves – Essential for protecting high-pressure treatment systems from surge damage, to ensure safe fluid flow.
• Pneumatic actuators – Used for clean, reliable actuation within environments where electrical hazards must be reduced.
• Electric actuators – For their precise, automated control and their integration with PFAS treatment monitoring and compliance systems.
