Assessment of PFAS fate, transport, and treatment inhibition associated with a simulated AFFF release within a WASTEWATER treatment plant

Dana Gonzalez et al.

Summary: The operation of SBRs for 36 days to simulate the impact of AR-AFFF on wastewater treatment showed small reductions in mixed liquor solids content and nitrification rates after two days of exposure to the foam. The addition of AR-AFFF led to an increase in 6:2 FTS concentrations and a proposed biotransformation pathway suggested the degradation of precursors to final short-chain perfluorocarboxylic acid products. Data extrapolation indicated that approximately 70% of AR-AFFF could be removed via effluent and solids wasting after 4 days at a full-scale treatment plant, providing insights for downstream processes.
