    How PFAS Moves from AFFF Areas to Groundwater

    Join our host Craig Divine and our guest Charles Schaefer. You are listening to The PFAS Research and Remediation Podcast, produced and created by Arcadis with funding from the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program, ESTCP grant number ER-23 7692 through the United States Department of Defense. The Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) is the U.S. Department of Defense’s environmental technology demonstration and validation program. The program’s goal is to identify and assess innovative technologies that address DoD’s high-priority environmental requirements efficiently and cost-effectively. In this second season, we're focused on PFAS and interview a broad panel of experts who have each contributed to the growing knowledge base around remediating this emerging chemical of concern. Today we'll be speaking with Dr. Charles Schaefer, an environmental scientist and director of CDM Smith’s research lab in Bellevue, Washington. His work focuses on understanding and treating PFAS contamination in groundwater and soil. A leading researcher with over 50 scientific publications, he has led major SERDP and ESTCP projects and received multiple Project of the Year awards. Today, we’ll be talking with him about several projects exploring how PFAS move through the unsaturated zone in AFFF source areas and potentially migrate into groundwater.

    GWMR Solutions for Managing AFFF-Impacted Infrastructure

    Join Arcadians Craig Divine and Johnsie Lang as they discuss their recent article, "Solutions for Managing Aqueous Film-Forming Foam-(AFFF-) Impacted Infrastructure." AFFF is known to contain PFAS, and was used in fire suppression foams for decades, causing accumulation on concrete and other surfaces. In their paper, Johnsie and Craig explore transitioning to newer PFAS-free firefighting formulations, and how to address infrastructure that was impacted by earlier PFAS-containing AFFF.

    Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) for Complete PFAS Destruction

    Join our host Theresa Guillette and our guest Marc Deshusses. You are listening to The PFAS Research and Remediation Podcast, produced and created by Arcadis with funding from the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program, ESTCP grant number ER-23 7692 through the United States Department of Defense. The Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) is the U.S. Department of Defense’s environmental technology demonstration and validation program. The program’s goal is to identify and assess innovative technologies that address DoD’s high-priority environmental requirements efficiently and cost-effectively. In this first season, we're focused on PFAS and interview a broad panel of experts who have each contributed to the growing knowledge base around remediating this emerging chemical of concern. Today we'll be speaking with Dr. Marc Deshusses, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University. Marc's research interests are related to the design, analysis and application of remediation, waste to energy and decentralized sanitation processes. He has served as principal investigator on several DoD sponsored research projects focused on PFAS. We'll be highlighting his project ER20-5350, titled "Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) for complete PFAS Destruction." SCWO is a treatment technology that uses the unique properties of water above its critical point (704 °F and 3200 pounds per square inch). At these conditions, when air is injected, all organics are rapidly oxidized to carbon dioxide and water - including PFAS. This technology has shown promise as a destructive technique for PFAS in water. Dr. Theresa Guillette, PFAS Technical Expert with Arcadis North America will be our host today. All opinions, interpretations, and conclusions expressed belong to the hosts and guests and do not represent views or policies of the Department of Defense, Arcadis, or guest affiliations.
