The study investigates the fundamental mechanisms of PFAS separation using thin-film evaporation, focusing on volatility constraints, phase behavior, and foam handling. Data from pilot and full-scale trials demonstrate significant reductions in PFAS-contaminated waste volume, enabling further destruction or sequestration.
Key operational factors, such as material selection for corrosion resistance, energy efficiency considerations, and optimization of process parameters, are discussed. Additionally, the economic feasibility and lifecycle cost analysis of thin-film evaporation for PFAS remediation are evaluated. Data from pilot and full-scale trials demonstrate significant reductions in PFAS-contaminated waste volume, enabling further destruction or sequestration. This session will provide attendees with a technical roadmap for implementing thin-film evaporation in industrial PFAS treatment applications, enhancing sustainability and regulatory adherence.
The session will also explore alternative advanced separation techniques and hybrid solutions, evaluating their effectiveness in synergy with thin-film evaporation for achieving enhanced PFAS removal. Finally, the role of emerging policies and evolving industry standards in driving the adoption of such technologies will be highlighted.
