“Environmental services company Veolia North America says its recent incineration testing on three kinds of PFAS-laden materials shows the technology can destroy more than 99% of specific per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
Results showed that incineration at high temperature — up to 2,040 degrees Fahrenheit — can eliminate ‘high concentrations’ of certain PFAS, including up to 99.9999% of PFOS and PFHxS, Veolia said in a news release.
Veolia, which also offers water treatment services, expects demand for PFAS-related research and resulting management services to continue, even after the EPA last week said it would roll back significant parts of the National Primary Drinking Water Regulation, said Bob Cappadona, president and CEO of Veolia North America’s Environmental Solutions and Services business.
