In a further enhancement to their PFAS treatment capability, and a nod to large scale / high volume commercial PFAS remediation, EPOC Enviro has announced the launch of the SAFF® Hyper-Concentrator.
Using an effective and sustainable process, the SAFF® Hyper-Concentrator is designed to be seamlessly paired with EPOC Enviro’s SAFF® system and uses the power of the rising air bubble to further concentrate target PFAS contaminants from the environment.
The SAFF® Hyper-Concentrator works ideally with multiple SAFF® units at sites with large volumes of PFAS impacted waters, and is designed to maximise PFAS concentrations, creating a more manageable and commercially viable PFAS concentrate ready for destruction.
It also maximises throughput, enabling larger volumes of water to be efficiently and effectively stripped of PFAS.
“The SAFF® Hyper-Concentrator is an extension and enhancement of the SAFF® system, and an upscaling of capability for larger sites with complex waters,” said EPOC Enviro Managing Director, Peter Murphy.
“The recognised process for removing PFAS from the environment is separation, concentration and destruction. As PFAS usually exists in very small amounts within large bodies of water, concentration is increasingly recognised as the critical step in creating micro volumes of enriched PFAS foamate which are commercially viable for destruction, and this has led us to develop the Hyper-Concentrator,” he said.
“The other equally important side of the equation is that turbo charging concentration via the Hyper-Concentrator enables us to maximise throughput and efficiency.”
The SAFF® Hyper-Concentrator takes PFAS concentrate from a SAFF® system and creates a PFAS hyper-concentrate which is some 20 to 200 times more concentrated. The system then handshakes with a large variety of destruction technologies to permanently remove toxic PFAS contaminants from the environment.
The SAFF® Hyper-Concentrator is an integral part of the PFAS treatment train and is ideally suited for larger sites operating two to four SAFF® systems. The system is optimal for complex waters with a high percentage of cross contaminants.
