PFAS Removal from Groundwater with Ion Exchange: Validating Prediction of Pilot- and Full-Scale Performance with Bench-Scale Tests
Scott Grieco, Kleinfelder
IX’s smaller footprint is an advantage over GAC for PFAS removal. While bench-scale tests are commonly used for predicting GAC performance, there is limited information on their ability to predict IX performance. We compared resin depths and sizes validating the Constant Diffusivity design assumption for RSSCTs. RSSCTs and equilibrium isotherms results were compared to field-scale data for two pilot- and full-scale systems. Data show that RSSCT and isotherm data with surface pore diffusion modeling reliably predicts performance for IX media.
