Vendor‑Neutral Treatment Spec (Excerpt)

  1. Primary Concentration: PFAS‑selective ion‑exchange (IX) resin skid with lead/lag vessels. Effluent goal: non‑detect to method limit or project‑specific standard. Resin change‑out based on breakthrough curves or lab confirmation.
  2. Secondary Polish (as needed): Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) in lead/lag configuration to protect discharge criteria.
  3. Final Destruction: Route IX regenerant/concentrate to Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) or approved equivalent destruction technology. Require certified mass‑balance reporting on destruction efficiency.
  4. Sampling & QA/QC: Pre‑/post‑treatment sampling with a method and detection limits set by jurisdiction and project scope; full chain‑of‑custody and data validation.
  5. Documentation: Manifests, chain‑of‑custody, operating logs, calibration records, and closeout report with as‑builts.

Approved Vendors (Examples): IX/GAC mobile polishing providers and SCWO destruction providers to be named by owner or selected during submittals; KPM will bid at least two equals for each category.

Our 6‑Step PFAS Project Process

1) Assessment

Site walk, records review, and sampling plan tailored to fire stations, terminals, or airports.

2) Work Plan

Health & Safety Plan, waste strategy, permits, and coordination.

3) Removal

Controlled demolition, residual capture, and secure packaging.

4) Decon

Flush/pigging, surface cleaning, and verification sampling.

5) Treatment

Mobile GAC/IX polishing; route concentrates to approved destruction.

6) Replacement

Install F3‑ready system, train operators, and hand over documentation.

FAQs

Can you provide turnkey PFAS removal and replacement?

Yes—KPM manages removal, decon, liquids handling, and installation of new F3‑ready systems under one contract, with third‑party labs for verification.

What happens to PFAS‑containing residuals?

We profile and route wastes to approved treatment or destruction providers. Options include IX concentration with resin or GAC polish followed by SCWO destruction.

Do you work in active facilities?

Yes—phased work windows, temporary bypass piping, and access control to keep operations running.
