Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for degrading per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) using hydrated electrons generated in an ultraviolet (UV)/sulfite system. These systems and methods may be used, e.g., to remediate wastewater by destroying PFAS and co-contaminants such as chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs).

Abstract: A process for treating a body of water in which a bioreactor and a water eductor are located in a body of water such that the eductor is submerged beneath the body of water to a depth of at least about 3 feet. The water eductor produces a water flow at a rate of at least about 60 feet per minute; the water flow is substantially parallel to the surface of the body of water. Water is also passed through a bioreactor that contains a plurality of bio-suspension elements within an enclosure located above a screen in the enclosure.
