PFAS Treatment Solutions for Groundwater Contamination
PFAS Treatment Solutions for Groundwater Contamination
PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) contamination is a growing concern across the United States. With new federal and state regulations in place, water utilities are under pressure to deliver safer drinking water that meets evolving standards. ATEC Water Systems provides cost-effective, scalable solutions for removing PFAS from groundwater sources, helping utilities ensure compliance and protect public health.
What Are PFAS and Why Are They a Problem?
PFAS are a class of synthetic chemicals used in industrial and consumer products that are resistant to water, heat, and oil—and extremely difficult to remove from the environment. Once in groundwater, PFAS can persist for decades, potentially impacting the health of those who rely on these sources for drinking water.
In 2024, the U.S. EPA finalized new Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for six PFAS compounds. These regulations are pushing water providers to invest in treatment systems that can handle these persistent and harmful contaminants.
