PFAS foams waste management PRACTICALITIES PFAS foam concentrates - Removal of foam from systems, repackaging, storage and disposal. System testing/cleanout - Generation of large volumes of wastewater for treatment and disposal. Contaminated equipment - PFAS adsorbed to bladders, pipework, fittings, seals, valves, etc. Specialist waste disposal - PFAS require specialised handling, transport, treatment and disposal as regulated waste. PFAS waste management Plan waste management stages, timelines and budgets carefully Standard disposal methods Domestic incineration is not suitable. Biodegradation methods are not suitable. Destruction to inorganic form is needed to ensure risk is reduced to acceptable levels. Hazmat incinerators need very strict controls. Calcium catalysed destruction is currently best practice.
