## Industry's Most Complete PFAS Incineration Study To Date

### Veolia performed comprehensive PFAS testing to evaluate the effectiveness of high temperature incineration in destroying PFAS.



 

 

 



The team conducted first-of-their-kind tests to evaluate thermal treatment of AFFF fire fighting foam, PFAS-contaminated soil and spent carbon water treatment media.

The two-phased study was performed at our state-of-the-art hazardous waste incinerator in Port Arthur, Texas in July and October of 2024 by a third-party provider. The facility was chosen based on its **proven track record of handling hard wastestreams such as PCBs and dioxins,** and its ability to reach a secondary combustion chamber temperature of 2,040 degrees Fahrenheit.

Rigorous testing was systematically conducted based on **EPA’s most current guidance** for solids, liquids and stack air emission, including Products of Incomplete Combustion (PICs) using the OTM-45 and OTM-50 methods.

The ground-breaking results proved that high temperature incineration at Port Arthur is an efficient and reliable disposal solution for high concentrations of targeted PFAS, **destroying greater than 99% of targeted substances, including up to 99.9999% of PFOS and PFHxS.**

#### Liquid Residue

Targeted PFAS were mostly non detect, with a small number of samples near the method detection levels and drinking water standard levels set by the EPA.



 

 

 

 

   ![Closeup image of solid residue](/sites/g/files/dvc1836/files/styles/default/public/image/2025/05/solid-residue-push.jpg.webp?itok=pJAPLhy6)   



#### Solid Residue

In 41 of 45 samples, there were no detectable quantities of PFAS in any of the ash, slag or filter cake. In 4 samples, PFAS were detected close to the method detection level.



 

 

 

 

   ![Clouds](/sites/g/files/dvc1836/files/styles/default/public/image/2025/05/air-emissions-push.jpg.webp?itok=QXIrTNb6)   



#### Air Emissions

Excellent Destruction and Removal Efficiency results, and few to no Products of Incomplete Combustion were detected during incineration, indicating highly effective destruction.
