Subject: [CPEO-MEF] PFAS: SERDP AFFF Challenge 2021
 




Webinar Talk
SERDP has launched a challenge to develop aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) alternatives for Department of Defense (DoD) use in firefighting foams. Challenge submissions will advance the replacement of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) present in legacy AFFF firefighting agents.
Individuals and firms of various sizes are able to participate by submitting innovative formulations that can match the capabilities of legacy AFFF. Participants must demonstrate the capabilities of their formulations by performing a small pan fire extinguishing test. The entry on Challenge.govexplains the requirements and provides access to the Challenge Guidance, while this video also walks through each step of the process and discusses safety concerns. The deadline to submit demonstrations is September 30, 2021.

Challenge winners may be awarded cash prizes up to $10,000. Successful submissions may also receive additional research and development funding. In order to perform the demonstration, submitters must have the correct protective equipment, test materials and facilities or they will risk disqualification.
