The technology removed a significant amount of PFAS within the targeted treatment demonstration area and exhibited a potentially more efficient means of mass source removal than may be accomplished by other traditional technologies.

NAS Oceana remedial project manager, Ms. Jillian Wheeler, said, “[The D-FAS technology demonstration] has been really helpful for my program and its perception – that we're not just studying it, we actually are taking action.”

…

Once the PFAS is removed, it is sent off-site for destruction. A small portion from the D-FAS demonstration was sent to Colorado School of Mines, where ESTCP is demonstrating another PFAS destruction technology, hydrothermal alkaline treatment (HALT), for liquid concentrates.
