BioLargo (BLGO, Financial) has unveiled case study results that demonstrate its AEC PFAS solution can achieve over 80% savings in lifecycle costs while effectively capturing and neutralizing PFAS contaminants in water sources, including drinking water, wastewater, and landfill leachate. The substantial cost reduction primarily stems from the minimized generation of PFAS-contaminated waste when using BioLargo’s AEC technology compared to traditional carbon-based methods, as well as lower material replacement costs.
Traditional methods such as granular activated carbon and ion exchange resins have been associated with high lifecycle expenses due to frequent media replacement and the costs of waste transportation and disposal. These costs may rise with anticipated regulations under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, which would increase expenses for transporting PFAS-contaminated waste. BioLargo’s AEC technology offers a more sustainable approach with reduced waste production and a dedicated electrochemical oxidation process that achieves complete mineralization of PFAS waste, effectively challenging the conventional paradigm.
