  • Publication number: 20220402794
    Abstract: A system for treating a source of water contaminated with PFAS is disclosed. The system includes a PFAS separation stage having an inlet fluidly connectable to the source of water contaminated with PFAS, a diluate outlet, and a concentrate outlet and a PFAS elimination stage positioned downstream of the PFAS separation stage and having an inlet fluidly connected to an outlet of the PFAS separation stage, the elimination of the PFAS occurring onsite with respect to the source of water contaminated with PFAS, with the system maintaining an elimination rate of PFAS greater than about 99%. A method of treating water contaminated with PFAS is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6693139
    Abstract: This invention relates to ion exchange resins that have a reduced amount of physically adsorbed organic compounds, as well as methods of producing and using such resins. In particular, the amount of extractable total organic carbon on the resins may be less than about 200 parts per trillion by wet weight, as measured using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. This invention also relates to methods of treating water that use such resins.

  • Patent number: 6375851
    Abstract: The invention includes an operating method for the continuous purification of a liquid utilizing either single or dual ion exchange vessels, each vessel being physically divided into one or more discrete of ion exchange zones, each zone having an inlet and an outlet. A valving means at the inlet and outlet of each ion exchange zone provides communication between adjacent ion exchange zones as well as to feed, product, water and regenerant chemical streams. In one aspect of this invention a first vessel contains a discrete plurality of cation exchange zones and a second vessel contains a discrete plurality of anion exchange zones. In another aspect of this invention, a single vessel contains a plurality of discrete cation exchange zones and a plurality of discrete anion exchange zones. In another aspect of the invention, each ion exchange zone is contained within a single vessel.
