Thermal Desorption of PFAS in Soil

Removing PFAS from Fire Training Areas

August 19, 2024 No Comments

Fire training areas (FTA), where firefighters practiced extinguishing fuel-based fires by applying aqueous film forming foams (AFFF), which contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), represent

Case Studies

Since the initial development of thermal remediation technologies, there have been more than 300 projects completed worldwide with TRS completing 180 of them. Many of these projects were industry firsts. TRS has also introduced the PerfluorAd^TM technology to the U.S. market for AFFF cleanout services. This technology can reduce PFAS concentrations in AFFF fire suppression systems by more than 99%. The below case studies showcase all of TRS’s capabilities.
