Presentation Details
Synergen Met were commissioned to conduct a treatment of PFAS contaminated leachates produced at a waste processing facility in QLD, Australia. The treatment was carried out using Synergen’s patented FOAM-ARISe process, which is an innovative breakthrough in foam fractionation technology, to separate PFAS from the leachate and produce a concentrated PFAS reject stream ready for destruction using Synergen Met’s patented thermal plasma destruction technology. This technology is completely powered by electrical energy with no toxic gaseous emissions, and destroy all PFAS species present, ending the PFAS contamination lifecycle.
