Lummus Technology expands PFAS detection and treatment services
(UI) — Lummus Technology, a global leader in process technologies, has introduced new analytical services for detecting per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as "forever chemicals."
These services aim to help water and wastewater operators accurately assess contamination levels and track the effectiveness of their treatment systems.
“With our in-house PFAS testing capabilities, along with our existing PFAS destruction technology, Lummus is well-positioned to assist customers in addressing water and wastewater challenges,” said Rutger Theunissen, Chief Business Officer of Services and Supplies at Lummus Technology. “We can now detect, evaluate, and offer solutions to eliminate these harmful chemicals efficiently and sustainably.”
The testing, conducted at Lummus Green Circle Labs in LaPorte, Texas, can analyze 40 different PFAS compounds down to parts-per-trillion levels. This process requires minimal sample preparation, reducing both time and contamination risks.
PFAS are synthetic chemicals that have been used in industrial and consumer products since the 1930s. They are resistant to breaking down in the environment and have been linked to health risks when exposure is high.
Earlier this year, Lummus partnered with Element Six (E6) to introduce scalable solutions for PFAS destruction. This partnership combines E6’s Diamox™ reactor with Lummus’ electro-oxidation technology to successfully eliminate both long- and short-chain PFAS compounds in water and wastewater treatment systems.
