Colloidal Activated Carbon used to Treat PFAS Impacts at AFFF Training and Use Areas at Three Regional Airports: A Multi-Site Pilot Testing Review
Presented by Ryan Moore, PFAS Program Director/Senior Technical Manager, Regenesis
PFAS contamination at airports, from aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) during firefighting/training, poses risks to human health and the environment. PFAS, resistant to breakdown, necessitates an effective and sustainable remediation strategy. Colloidal activated carbon (CAC) is established as a solution to enhance in-situ attenuation, leveraging a high distribution coefficient (Kd) to adsorb PFAS.
This presentation reviews pilot studies at three regional airports addressing PFAS impacts in groundwater due to on-site AFFF use. These microcosms mimic full-scale scenarios in critical areas where PFAS plumes are affecting sensitive receptors and necessitating rapid, cost-effective solutions. Varying CAC pilot project sizes, injection configurations, and treatment techniques were employed targeting groundwater. Pre-implementation design verification testing, mass flux measurements, and predictive modeling refined site models, while in-field validation ensured proper CAC distribution.
