  • Destruction of PFAS Via an Oxidation Process and Apparatus Suitable for Transportation to Contaminated Sites
    Publication number: 20250083978
    Abstract: Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are destroyed by oxidation in supercritical conditions. PFAS in water can be concentrated and prepared for destruction in a pretreatment phase. Following annihilation of the PFAS in supercritical conditions to levels below 5 parts per trillion (ppt), the water effluent can be used to recover heat, returned to sub-critical conditions, and then released back into the environment.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 2, 2024
    Publication date: March 13, 2025
