The recent decision by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) chemicals as hazardous substances has heightened the need for effective and efficient PFAS treatment solutions. BioLargo’s Aqueous Electrostatic Concentrator (AEC) stands out in this regard, generating a fraction of the waste volume produced by carbon filtration systems. This attribute translates into substantial cost savings related to waste handling, transportation, and disposal, particularly in light of the EPA’s new regulations requiring special protocols for transporting PFAS-containing materials.
Tonya Chandler, President of BioLargo Equipment Solutions & Technologies, Inc., emphasizes the competitive advantage of the AEC system in the wake of these regulations. With its reduced waste generation, BioLargo can offer clients comprehensive waste management services, including full destruction at its facility.
Dennis P. Calvert, President and CEO of BioLargo, applauds the EPA’s decisive action on PFAS and the substantial funding allocated to support communities and water providers in addressing PFAS contamination. BioLargo remains committed to partnering with government agencies and industry stakeholders to safeguard public health and the environment from the detrimental effects of PFAS.
BioLargo’s dedication to PFAS remediation extends beyond its innovative treatment technologies. The company advocates for stringent regulations, supports research and development initiatives, and actively participates in collaborative efforts to mitigate the impact of PFAS on our water resources.
As the world grapples with the challenges posed by PFAS contamination, BioLargo’s AEC system emerges as a compelling solution, offering both environmental and economic benefits. Its ability to minimize waste generation, coupled with the company’s commitment to sustainability, positions BioLargo as a leader in the fight against PFAS pollution.
