Aa Plasma LLC

Purpose:perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Are Persistent Environmental Contaminants Requiring Innovative Treatment Solutions. This Phase I Project Focuses on Developing a Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) Plasma System for the On-site Regeneration of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Contaminated With Pfas. the Plasma System Not Only Regenerates Gac But Also Destroys Adsorbed Pfas, Eliminating the Need for Energy-intensive Thermal Reactivation Methods or Waste Disposal in Landfills. the Proposed Approach Involves Optimizing Key Plasma Parameters, Such as Voltage, Frequency, and Residence Time, to Achieve Efficient Pfas Decomposition. Additionally, the System Design Enables Continuous Processing on a Conveyor Belt, Ensuring Scalability for Industrial Applications.activities to Be Performed: 1. Ramp-up PHASE2. Evaluation of Effectiveness and Mode of ACTION3. Prepare for Scale-up System Construction 4. Reporting Periodexpected Outcomes:the Expected Outcomes of This Phase I Project Aims to Establish New Industry Standards, Support Epa Compliance, and Reduce Operational Costs for Water Treatment Facilities, Enhancing the United States' Capacity to Tackle Pfas Contamination Sustainably.intended Beneficiaries Include: Municipal Water Treatment Plants, Companies Producing Industrial Filtration Systems, and Gac Suppliers. Subrecipient Activities: the Recipient Does Not Intend to Subaward Funds.
