Treating PFAS
AqueoUS Vets ® is launching
FoamPro™, a novel foam fractionation system for PFAS treatment. The new system represents an innovation in foam fractionation design and is well suited for treating tough-to-treat PFAS streams.
AqueoUS Vets has announced the launch of its FoamPro technology, a technology that is designed to handle tough-to-treat PFAS streams. Unlike conventional foam fractionation systems that rely on old air diffusion technologies, the FoamPro system relies on an innovative vacuum process that improves mass transfer efficiency and reduces energy consumption.“ Industries across the board are grappling with the challenge of treating PFAS in complex waste streams. This breakthrough technology marks a significant innovation, equipping our customers with an additional, powerful tool to address the growing PFAS problem,” said AqueoUS Vets President & CEO Dr. Mirka Wilderer.“ By integrating this solution into our portfolio of media filtration technologies, AV reinforces its commitment to delivering the most sustainable treatment options with the lowest total cost of ownership. There is no single solution when it comes to PFAS remediation, and AqueoUS Vets is proud to offer customers greater flexibility in identifying the approach that best meets their needs.” The plug-and-play system comes in stackable modules ranging from 0.5 to 100 gallons per minute( GPM) and is well suited for treating PFAS effluent seen in the industrial and remedial spaces. The FoamPro system has already been tested successfully on Aqueous Film Forming Foam( AFFF) rinse water, removing > 99 % of PFOS, PFHxS, and PFOA from initial concentrations in the tens of thousands of parts per trillion.“ The results to-date inspire confidence that the FoamPro solution will meaningfully impact the PFAS treatment space, reducing the overall cost burden on industry and taxpayers alike,” added Wilderer.
Role of valves in PFAS For industries handling PFAS-laden effluent, especially where precise flow control is critical, valves play an essential role in optimising system performance. Whether managing flow into the FoamPro’ s modular units( 0.5 – 100 GPM) or integrating the system within broader treatment trains, valve selection and reliability directly affect pressure regulation, vacuum integrity and overall efficiency. As advanced PFAS solutions like FoamPro gain traction, valves become increasingly vital in ensuring consistent and energy-efficient operation.
