Granulated activated carbon is at the heart of a $43 million dollar system in Wilmington, NC used to treat their drinking water of PFAS. The 2024 limits put out by the EPA on PFAS levels have water treatment plants finding methods of reducing the PFAS levels below the limit. While granular activated carbon (GAC) is effective, it is not as effective with PFAS as it is with capturing other pollutants. Other focuses are trying to remove sources of PFAS from entering the environment from areas such as industrial facility runoff and wastewater. Additional questions are raised regarding what to do with captured PFAS and any methods to destroy it. As more research and efforts are being pushed, solutions are hopeful for this emerging large market.
