Addressing a Critical Water Quality Challenge
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have emerged as one of the most pressing water quality challenges of our time. Known for their persistence in the environment and potential health risks, these “forever chemicals” are notoriously difficult to remove once they enter water systems.
Recognizing the need for an innovative, practical solution, Adsorb has partnered with the Wastewater Division of the City of Florence, South Carolina to take decisive action.
Introducing the Effluent Flume Carbon System
Together, the team has deployed the Effluent Flume Carbon System – a robust and cost-effective technology specifically engineered to capture PFAS compounds at the outlet of municipal wastewater treatment plants.
By targeting PFAS removal right at the discharge point, the system provides an efficient safeguard, reducing the risk of these persistent chemicals entering downstream waterways and potentially affecting drinking water sources.
Why This Matters
Protecting Communities: Minimizing PFAS contamination helps safeguard public health and maintain clean, safe water for residents.
Environmental Stewardship: Removing PFAS at the treatment plant outlet reduces accumulation in local rivers, lakes, and ecosystems.
Cost-Effective Implementation: The Effluent Flume Carbon System offers a practical, budget-conscious solution without compromising performance.
A Model for Other Municipalities
This collaboration between Adsorb and the City of Florence demonstrates how forward-thinking partnerships can address complex environmental issues. The success of this installation positions the Effluent Flume Carbon System as a scalable solution for municipalities nationwide seeking to meet tightening PFAS regulations.
