The PFAS Challenge
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), often dubbed "forever chemicals," pose a significant and growing threat to our environment and human health. These persistent compounds, found in countless industrial and consumer products, have unfortunately permeated our soils, risking leaching into water sources and entering the food chain. Traditional remediation methods often fall short in effectively tackling this widespread contamination.
This is where our solution comes in. At CDE, we are at the forefront of sustainable soil remediation, offering innovative wet processing solutions specifically engineered to effectively remove PFAS from contaminated soils. Our proven technology transforms contaminated material into valuable resources, safeguarding human health and the environment while promoting a circular economy.
How Our Wet Processing Works for PFAS Remediation:
Our advanced wet processing plants leverage a multi-stage approach to meticulously separate and remove PFAS from soil particles:
- Precise Material Handling: Contaminated soil is carefully fed into our system, ensuring optimal flow and preparation for the washing process.
- Intensive Scrubbing & Washing: Utilising specialised CDE equipment, including our renowned AggMax™ and EvoWash™ systems, the soil undergoes vigorous scrubbing and washing. This process effectively liberates PFAS compounds from the soil matrix, transferring them into the water phase.
- Advanced Water Management & Filtration: Crucially, our integrated water management systems are designed to treat the PFAS-laden water. This involves advanced filtration technologies that capture and concentrate the PFAS, ensuring a clean water output.
- Contaminant Isolation and Management: The concentrated PFAS are then safely isolated, allowing for appropriate disposal or further specialised treatment, preventing their reintroduction into the environment.
- Resource Recovery: Beyond contaminant removal, our wet processing solutions recover valuable sand and aggregate fractions from the treated soil, transforming what was once waste into reusable construction materials. This not only minimises landfill dependence but also creates new revenue streams.
Reclaim Land. Restore The Environment.
Across the world, we're processing contaminated soils containing PFAS as well as C&D waste, recovering over 30 million tonnes every year. Our solutions play a crucial role in advancing global environmental remediation and sustainability efforts, advantages including:
Proven Effectiveness: Our wet processing technology has a demonstrated track record in successfully treating PFAS-contaminated soils, with projects globally showcasing high removal efficiencies, including the world's largest contaminated soils wash plant in New York.
