Removal of PFOA from a drinking water treatment plant

The project

To guarantee drinking water quality an additional and temporary treatment step was implemented at a drinking water treatment plant. The purpose of this additional step was to remove PFOA from the raw water source. The temporary measure lasted one year and was followed by the construction of a definitive treatment step. To remove PFOA from the water source, a mobile system of filters with activated carbon was installed. After a reduction of pressure, the water was pumped over the filters with activated carbon. After an additional step of UV-disinfection the treated water was stored in a clean water tank, after which the pressure was increased to the necessary pressure of the drinking water network.

Services
Inlet control up to 90 m³/u.
Two activated carbon filters of 20 m³ each for the removal of PFOA from the raw water source .
Installation and upkeep of a UV disinfection system
Compressed air unit for ultra clean air
Installation of a static mixer for the injection of oxygen in the water stream
Additional air treatment filters on top of the activated carbon filters and clean water tank
Clean water tank (20 m³)
Use of hydrophores to increase pressure after treatment
Control panel suitable for remote adjustments and data logging
Threshold value for PFAS was set at 0.02 µg/l
