System and method for enhancing the capacity of an adsorptive media to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (pfas) from a flow of liquid contaminated with pfas and at least one precursor

A system for pretreating a flow of a liquid contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), at least one precursor, and/or other organic compounds, the system comprising:

• a pre-oxidation subsystem configured to receive the flow of liquid contaminated with PFAS, at least one precursor, and/or other organic compounds and configured to convert a majority of at least one precursor into PFAS and remove at least one other organic compound to produce a flow of liquid having the PFAS and the at least one precursor converted to PFAS therein;
• and
• at least one vessel including an adsorptive media therein configured to receive the flow of liquid having the PFAS and the at least one precursor converted to PFAS, the adsorptive media configured remove a majority of the PFAS and a majority of the at least one precursor converted to PFAS and produce a flow of treated liquid having the majority of the PFAS and the majority of the at least one precursor converted to PFAS removed.

A system for enhancing the capacity of an adsorptive media to remove PFAS from a flow of liquid contaminated with PFAS and at least one precursor, the system comprising:

• a pre-oxidation subsystem configured to receive the flow of liquid contaminated with PFAS and at least one precursor, the pre-oxidation subsystem configured to enhance the capacity of an adsorptive media to remove PFAS from the flow of liquid contaminated with PFAS and a least one precursor and produce a treated flow of liquid having a majority of the PFAS removed.

A method for enhancing the capacity of an adsorptive media to remove PFAS from a flow of liquid contaminated with PFAS and at least one precursor, the method comprising:

• receiving the flow of liquid contaminated with PFAS and at least one precursor;
• subjecting the flow of liquid contaminated with PFAS and at least one precursor to a pre-oxidation process to enhance the capacity of an adsorptive media to remove PFAS from the flow of liquid contaminated with PFAS and a least one precursor and produce a treated flow of liquid having a majority of the PFAS removed.
