As federal and state agencies continue to evaluate PFAS destruction options, Revive Environmental’s PFAS Annihilator delivers independently verified, batch-by-batch destruction. Revive Environmental operates active PFAS destruction programs in New Jersey, New Hampshire, Ohio, and North Carolina. At the center of that work is the PFAS Annihilator®, a supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) system designed to permanently…

Over 150,000 gallons of PFAS-containing firefighting foam. More than 300 fire departments. Two collection sites running simultaneously across the state. On March 20, 2026, New Jersey marked a milestone in one of the largest coordinated aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) collection and destruction programs ever undertaken in the United States. At the northern collection site in…

How Supercritical Water Oxidation, AFFF take-back programs, and DoD demonstrations reshaped the PFAS landscape From Planning to Practice 2025 marked a clear shift in how PFAS challenges were addressed across the United States. As regulatory expectations sharpened, airports, fire departments, and landfills moved beyond planning and pilot studies toward permitted treatment and verified PFAS destruction….

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…
