ESTCP FY 2023 New Start Projects

 Environmental Restoration (ER) Program Area

The following projects were selected for funding to demonstrate and validate destruction technologies for the treatment of materials laden with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Additional information on individual projects can be found by clicking the project title.

• Sustainable On-Site Removal and Destruction of PFAS Using Surface Active Foam Fractionation and Supercritical Water Oxidation
  • Lead Investigator: Kent Sorenson, Allonnia
• Last Piece of the Puzzle: Separating and Destroying Short-Chained PFAS from Waste Streams by Combining Colloidal Gas Aphrons (CGAs) with Plasma
  • Lead Investigator: Poonam Kulkarni, GSI Environmental, Inc.
• Assessing Field Scale-up, Cost, and Performance of Ultraviolet (UV)/Silica-Based Granular Media (SGM) Treatment to Destroy PFAS in Concentrated Liquids
  • Lead Investigator: David Major, Geosyntec Consultants, Inc.
• Cradle to Grave PFAS Treatment using Membrane and Foam Fractionation Concentration Followed by Hydrothermal Alkaline Treatment
  • Lead Investigator: Christopher Bellona, Colorado School of Mines
