Brown and Caldwell Receives Funding for PFAS Incineration Study
Photo Credit: Brown and Caldwell Environmental engineering firm Brown and Caldwell (Walnut Creek, Calif.) has been granted funding from The Water Research Foundation (WRF) to study the fate of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) through sewage sludge incineration. Thermal treatment of PFAS-laden wastewater solids through sewage sludge incinerators (SSIs) offers a potential PFAS control strategy; however, with few published research studies available, the ability of SSIs to fully mineralize PFAS is unknown.
