OUR TOOLBOX OF PFAS SOLUTIONS

PFAS-CONTAMINATED WATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES

High-performance PFAS solutions for complex water challenges.

Clean Earth provides municipalities and businesses with large-volume, engineered treatment solutions for PFAS-contaminated water and other emerging contaminants, ensuring reliable performance and regulatory compliance at scale.

  • Foam Fractionation: Using air to create a stream of fine bubbles that rise within a contained space, the bubbles capture PFAS, producing a foam that rises to the top for collection. The foam is skimmed off, and the treated water remains.

  • Granular Activated Carbon: Carbon consists of natural adsorbent properties which, when treating water, can adsorb PFAS from the waste matrix leaving behind filtered water. The carbon used in this process eventually becomes contaminated. However, Clean Earth deploys a carbon regeneration process for reuse.

  • Supercritical Water Oxidation: Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) is a single-step wet oxidation process that transforms organic compounds into water, carbon dioxide, and, depending on the waste undergoing treatment, an inert mineral solid residue. The process is highly effective in treating a variety of waste streams and contaminant concentrations.

Accurate testing is a critical step in the PFAS treatment and disposal process — ensuring every regulatory and technical requirement is met before treatment begins.

  • Our state-of-the-art, onsite PFAS testing laboratory provides rapid, precise analysis to ensure contaminated water meets all facility requirements for proper treatment and downstream disposition. By delivering fast, reliable results, we help you accelerate decision-making, reduce costs, and maintain full compliance.

Our PFAS solutions combine field-tested treatment systems with new technologies being validated by our R&D team, providing you with dependable performance now and scalable innovations for evolving PFAS requirements.

  • Stabilization: In combining PFAS-contaminated soil with specifically developed additives, Clean Earth achieves a specific formulation that binds the contaminants to prevent leaching. This treated soil can then be beneficially reused. This solution specifically converts contaminants into less soluble, mobile, or toxic forms and results in no air quality issues.

  • Fixed-Base Thermal Desorption: Our thermal desorption solution heats the soil in a rotating dryer to separate and remove the contaminant. This solution results in elimination and specifically allows beneficial reuse of the remediation soil.

  • Onsite Thermal Desorption: Provides the same technology as our fixed-base facilities and can provide even more significant cost savings by eliminating transportation costs.

Why Choose Clean Earth PFAS Solutions?

With our experience and expertise, you can be confident that each step of the process is compliant, safe, and sustainable.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

PFAS limits are tightening nationwide. Clean Earth ensures compliance with all applicable EPA, state, and local PFAS standards by implementing treatment technologies that meet or exceed current and emerging regulatory thresholds — with full compliance reporting.

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

We simplify the entire PFAS treatment process. Our turnkey solutions — whether mobile or fixed-base, including best value transportation routing — ensure every treatment process step is addressed with safety and compliance, keeping your operations running smoothly.

IMPROVED SAFETY & RISK REDUCTION

PFAS poses serious health and environmental risks. Our treatment solutions are engineered to rapidly isolate, capture, and remove PFAS compounds, reducing exposure risks and protecting downstream communities and ecosystems.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Our PFAS treatment methods prevent PFAS from re-entering the environment. We prioritize responsible capture, disposal, and destruction to protect long-term environmental health.
