Present disposal options for PFAS liquids include deep wells, incineration and landfills, all of which have serious environmental liability issues.

Key Points: 
  • Present disposal options for PFAS liquids include deep wells, incineration and landfills, all of which have serious environmental liability issues.
  • We expect that the Perma-Fix’s process will virtually eliminate PFAS compounds (minimum of 99.9999% destruction) and reduces the environmental liability associated with these materials.
  • Additionally, the process is designed to operate at a highly competitive price compared to traditional disposal options.
  • According to a recent article in Barron’s the estimated cleanup cost for PFAS compounds could exceed $200 billion.
