Objectives¶
The objective of this project was to develop a comprehensive systems analysis tool (SAT) to estimate PFAS release associated with management alternatives for a wide range of PFAS-containing wastes.
Features¶
Through this project, we have established an analytical framework to rigorously describe alternatives for the management of individual PFAS-containing wastes, and to quantify interrelationships between individual PFAS-containing wastes and their treatment alternatives.
The SAT estimates PFAS release to a receiving medium (air, surface water, groundwater, soil) as well as the storage of PFAS in a process (e.g., landfill, injection well) or product (e.g., thermally reactivated carbon).
The SAT includes process models for multiple treatment and disposal alternatives to estimate PFAS release as a function of the mass, composition, and properties of the waste managed.
