Acids

 

Peracetic Acid (PAA) Solutions

Peracetic acid, a powerful oxidative disinfectant, has many applications related to the treatment of wastewater including:

  • Hydrogen sulfide oxidation: Reduces and removes dangerous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in water treatment applications.
  • Effluent disinfection: Used in conjunction with UV, improves clarity to help control effluent quality during high load and UV maintenance conditions.

Emerging Challenges: PFAS Reduction

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals manufactured for their oil and water-resistant properties. These materials are often present in wastewater and are highly resistant to degradation, making them especially challenging to remove using standard water treatment methods. Water treatment facilities, facilities with industrial discharge, and other water sources must meet EPA testing requirements and recommendations.

While many PFAS require specialized treatment methods like ion exchange resins, high-pressure membrane systems like reverse osmosis, and granular activated carbon, coagulants can be used as part of a broader treatment plan to assist with the retention of PFAS in sediment. Connecting with an experienced water treatment specialist can help your facility evaluate how to develop an effective treatment plan.
