ESTCP FY 2023 New Start Projects

 Environmental Restoration (ER) Program Area

The following projects were selected for funding to demonstrate and validate treatment technologies for 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
