DESIGN, INSTALLATION, STARTUP AND OPERATION OF A MOBILE PFAS REMOVAL SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATION-DERIVED WASTE
Wynkoop, D. | Real Property Institute of Canada Federal Contaminated Sites Regional Workshop, 405 June, Halifax, NS, 19 slides, 2019

A turnkey, modular, ion exchange resin system was designed to treat PFAS, petroleum, oil, lubricants chlorinated solvents, and dissolved metal-contaminated, investigation-derived waste at the Eielson Air Force Base in Fairbanks, Alaska. The system was designed to process 10,000-gallon batches and included sorbent media for free product removal, back-washable granular activated carbon filtration, ion exchange to remove iron and other fouling agents, and two types of specialized ion exchange resins for PFAS removal. The system was installed in an international shipping container for ease of transport and started treating water in October 2017. The presentation describes the design, installation, start-up, operation, and lessons learned, and reviews the first several months of operating data. https://www.rpic-ibic.ca/images/2019_FCSRW/presentations/Design_Installation_Start-up_and_Operation_of_a_Mobile_PFAS_Removal_System_for_Investigation-Derived_Waste.pdf More information https://www.calgoncarbon.com/app/uploads/case_study_eielson_proof.pdf
