Sheitlin et al. 2023. This article summarizes studies of PFAS destruction by Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) using the Battelle AnnihilatorTM system. - Treated lab prepared and field collected samples up to 50 ppm combined PFAS. - PFAS species were all reduced below 70 ng/L. - Optimal treatment: Temperature >600C, Pressure 3500 psi (238.2 atm). - Perfluoro carboxylic acids are largely destroyed at temperatures >450C. - Perfluoro sulfonic acids are destroyed at >575C. - Achieved 99.999% destruction for a 3-hour operational period at optimal conditions. - Co-contaminants (petroleum, VOCs) did not adversely affect PFAS treatment. - Transformation products included CO2, H2O, and anionic acids. - A 3-hour test at optimal conductions achieved 99.999 PFAS destruction throughout the test duration.

Harmful algal/cyanobacterial blooms (HABs) are a growing problem in the U.S. and around the world. Medina Environmental Consulting & Solutions brings a broad spectrum in this area from our experience at the Army Engineer Research & Development Center. This includes destructive approaches, like cavitation and radical injection, sorbents for nutrients and cyanobacteria themselves, and riparian control for nutrients. Pictures include results from cavitation/radical injection study using Premier Materials ECOSOAR, cyanobacteria adsorption on graphene oxide film, Cyanobacteria at navigation lock at Lake Okeechobee, FL., and the Harmful Algae Cavitation System (HACS), which is a pilot scale cavitation system, and drone flyover of pond near Vicksburg, MS (with Applied Drone Systems, Vicksburg, MS).

An interesting study done on PFAS contamination in fish tissue at Joint Base Cape Cod. PFAS was found in fish tissue 5 miles (8 km) downstream from the source. Victor Medina Medina Doyle Technologies https://lnkd.in/eM_NyxXy

We are excited to be presenting at the upcoming Waste Management WM2025 Symposium in March at Phoenix. Victor Medina will make two presentations, the first on mobile water treatment for PFAS and other contaminants, and the second on basalt fiber as emerging material for environmental applications. If you are going to the conference, let me know and let's connect! If you are interested in the conference, you can learn more at Medina Doyle Technologies

Short article on nuclear power from the National Academies of Sciences. With our increasing dependence on energy intensive AI and data centers, nuclear power is getting increased interest as well. Further, advances in nuclear power make it safer and more versatile. However, the nuclear power industry must build public trust.
