INSIGHT

Foam Fractionation Explains PFAS Removal

  • Foam fractionation exploits PFAS compounds' tendency to adhere to air bubbles, allowing efficient removal from water.
  • This method concentrates PFAS into foam for easier harvesting and treatment.
ADVICE

Optimize Foam Fractionation Tuning

  • Tune foam fractionation systems carefully on site adjusting aeration to optimize foam quantity.
  • Maintain 2-5% operator presence for monitoring and adjustments, especially in complex leachate applications.
ADVICE

Remote Monitoring and Turnkey Care

  • Maintain remote telemetry and monitoring for SAF systems to diagnose and resolve faults quickly.
  • Provide turnkey operation and maintenance services for complicated sites like landfills for reliable results.
