Excitement Surrounds PFAS Destruction at WEFTEC 2024

Posted by Nathan Bierschenk on October 24, 2024

Our team of PFAS destruction experts recently attended the WEFTEC conference and were taken back by the enthusiasm surrounding PFAS destruction in industrial and municipal wastewater, as well as drinking water applications. The underlying tone from the conference was that PFAS treatment is starting to receive meaningful attention and that commercial, innovative  solutions like super critical water oxidation (SCWO) will play a major role in ending the PFAS cycle.

Insights from Rick Gillespie

Chief Commercial Officer, Rick Gillespie, delivered an insightful presentation on innovative PFAS management solutions for landfill leachate. He emphasized the critical need to end the PFAS cycle by utilizing our PFAS Annihilator® SCWO destruction technology. During the presentation Rick shared PFAS destruction data from landfill leachate foamate that was processed by Revive’s PFAS Annihilator system which showcased PFAS destruction below the EPA drinking water standards. Rick’s expertise sparked discussions and highlighted the necessity for effective strategies in managing PFAS contamination.

Dr. Ali Ling Delivers Remarks On Media For PFAS Treatment and Regeneration

Despite the 4:30pm timeslot Dr. Ali Ling presented to a packed room eager to hear about solutions for managing spent filtration media laden with PFAS.  Revive, along with other leading technology startups, contributed data to facilitate a comparative assessment of technology readiness, energy consumption and total supply chain cost for managing the media + PFAS destruction. See below for a snapshot of the comparative estimates with Revive’s GAC RENEWTM represented as “Onsite GAC Regeneration.”
