Tetra Tech and TAMU will develop and test an effective mobile treatment technology to destroy PFAS in soils and sediments. eBeam is a destructive technology that generates extremely large numbers of high-energy electrons that are used to destroy chemical compounds. While eBeam technology has been used successfully to remediate various chemicals in soils, this will be the first instance of field testing the technology to destroy PFAS compounds. Research has shown eBeam technology to be up to 99 percent effective in destroying PFAS in soils.
Tetra Tech’s PFAS remediation experts will design and fabricate the prototype mobile treatment system and conduct extensive field testing of the prototype treatment system on impacted soils and sediments at candidate DoD sites. The mobile system will be tested as a model for a future, larger scale mobile system or fixed-base facility PFAS treatment system and demonstrate the scalability of the technology for widespread implementation and commercialization.
