Ryan’s co-presenters are Susan Sitkoff of the City of Orlando and Raj Melkote of 374Water.
Ryan is an Engineer based in Florida who focuses on environmental assessment and remediation of complex sites, including manufactured gas plants and large-scale industrial operations and sites with chlorinated-solvent and PFAS contamination.
The Florida Remediation Conference is an annual event focused on soil, air, and water remediation. It brings together industry professionals from across the country to explore the latest environmental cleanup technologies, regulatory updates, and case studies.
Abstract: PFAS Destruction in Biosolids
Promulgation of the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) for PFAS in drinking water implicates municipalities with the responsibility of helping the public have access to safe drinking water and warrants further actions to update and maintain existing infrastructure to meet these established criteria. PFAS contaminants have been known to enter, transform, and accumulate in water and wastewater-treatment plants with waste media and effluent streams being discharged to multiple different locations. Traditional methods of disposal, including land application, were replaced with landfill disposal because of PFAS concerns, so the City of Orlando was seeking a means for on-site destruction to help reduce costs. To address these concerns, the City evaluated different treatment options and selected a Super Critical Water Oxidation (SCWO) system for pilot testing at the Iron Bridge Wastewater Treatment Plant. The SCWO system was installed and has been testing PFAS destruction from different waste streams, including waste-activated sludge from the plant. This presentation intends to discuss the details of the SCWO system, capabilities of the system, baseline and performance monitoring associated with the pilot test, and lessons learned.
