We are doing a series of trials in the CASSA site in Spain.
The miniSAFF was established on February the 4th and we are now proceeding with doing multiple trials on this PFAS impacted water. The trials that we, so far, have carried out shows a low foaming water. We are doing trials with different treatment time and Hz setting on the pumps to Optimiz the removal rate on PFAS. Next trial period is at the end of February where we will be focused on using additive to enhance the removal rate on short-chain PFAS.
Envytech team provided his support and knowledge on the works carried out: project manager Say, PFAS specialist Robin and lab technician Sese established a miniSAFF unit at the CASSA site in Spain. The team was accompanied by Mikel Boris from IDP, which is the pilot manager.
The miniSAFF is a bench-top unit that is used to perform trials where PFAS contaminated water is treated with air bubbles to demonstrate the reduction capacity of PFAS for the specific water. Several trials will be performed on three occasions during a 2 month period, where different treatment times and Hertz settings will be tested to optimize the reduction. Tests with additives will also be performed to increase the reduction rate of short-chain PFAS.
Water samples will be sent to a laboratory to verify levels. Exciting results are pending.
