Abstract:

This Final Report was prepared to summarize activities conducted under Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) project number ER-201729, "Field Demonstration to Enhance Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Degradation and Mass Removal using Thermally Enhanced Persulfate Oxidation Followed by Pump-and-Treat." This project was conducted by a team of researchers from Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC), Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. (Geosyntec), and the University of California at Berkeley (UC Berkeley). Site-specific treatability studies were conducted to validate the performance of a promising destructive treatment technology for PFAS that could be conducted in situ - thermally-enhanced persulfate oxidation at low pH. Because this technology is not expected to be fully effective in destroying all PFAS (i.e., perfluorooctane sulfonate [PFOS] and similar perfluorosulfonic acids), the technology would need to be used in combination with pump and-treat to fully address a mixed PFAS source zone
