Across the country, military installations are facing growing pressure to remediate PFAS contamination, particularly from decades of firefighting foam use. In response, the U.S. Air Force partnered with Revive Environmental to conduct an early, ambitious demonstration of a field-deployable PFAS destruction technology at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado. Armed with sub-zero temperatures, high-strength AFFF…

Granular activated carbon (GAC) has long been a cornerstone in water treatment—especially for removing persistent organic contaminants like PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). But what happens when your carbon becomes exhausted with those contaminants? Traditionally, the solution has been to transport the carbon offsite for thermal reactivation or dispose of it entirely (e.g., landfill, incineration)….

Innovation and Collaboration Take Center Stage in the Fight Against PFAS From the moment the doors opened in Chicago, the energy and buzz about PFAS solutions took precedent. Conversations weren’t just about monitoring and management—they were about elimination. And that’s exactly where Revive Environmental thrives. Throughout the week, our team had the opportunity to connect…

As environmental awareness and regulatory pressure intensify, the limitations of traditional PFAS remediation are becoming increasingly apparent. Many treatment methods transfer per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) into other media or break them into smaller but still harmful compounds, leaving waste generators vulnerable to future liability. For facilities that manage PFAS-laden water—from airports to landfills to…

As the regulatory landscape around PFAS continues to tighten, organizations nationwide, including airports and industrial facilities, are under increasing pressure to remove and replace AFFF firefighting foam. Once a cornerstone of fire protection systems, AFFF is now recognized as a major source of PFAS contamination and a growing liability. With mounting environmental concerns, stricter regulations,…

As PFAS regulations tighten across the country, fire departments, airports, and facility managers are facing a growing challenge: how to dispose of AFFF (aqueous film-forming foam) in a way that is safe, legal, and permanent. The State of New Hampshire recently provided a model solution. Through a statewide AFFF Take-Back Program, the New Hampshire Department…

As airports across the nation move to eliminate PFAS-laden aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) from their Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) vehicles, many are facing a critical question: How can this transition be done safely, responsibly, and without long-term liability? In late 2024, Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA) set a new standard for this transition. With…

In a compelling one-on-one interview, Revive Environmental’s CEO shares his leadership philosophy, the mission behind PFAS destruction, and how servant leadership is driving innovation in clean water technology. What does it take to lead a mission-focused environmental technology company? For Revive Environmental CEO David Trueba, the answer lies in a powerful personal philosophy: “Put something…

This award serves as our third state-level partnership following successful collaborations with Ohio and New Hampshire. These engagements underscore the scalability and reliability of Revive’s destruction solutions to eliminate PFAS at both state and national levels. Building Momentum in AFFF State Takeback Programs With up to 60,000 gallons of AFFF slated for destruction in North…

“The conversation around PFAS contamination has never been louder,” says David Trueba, President and CEO at Revive Environmental. “With widespread media coverage – consumers, businesses, and regulators are becoming acutely aware of the dangers of these ‘forever chemicals.’” PFAS are found everywhere—in nonstick cookware, waterproof jackets, food packaging, firefighting foams, and even our drinking water….
