In one embodiment, a system of PFAS (Per-Poly-fluorinated alkyl substances) effluent liquid treatment includes: a pump to pump a liquid received via an intake; a sediment filter to filter sediment from the liquid; a granular activated carbon (GAC) device, disposed downstream of the sediment filter, to remove organic contaminants from the liquid; one (preferably two) or more ion exchange resin columns, disposed downstream of the GAC device, to remove PFAS constituents from the liquid; and a plurality of control valves being controlled to direct the liquid to flow along one or more liquid flow paths through the ion exchange resin columns so as to adjust a rate of processing the liquid by the ion exchange resin columns. Directing the flow takes into consideration factors including any minimum rate of processing, any maximum amount of waste generation, and any target remaining PFAS contamination in the liquid after processing.
A method of PFAS (Per-Poly-fluorinated alkyl substances) effluent liquid treatment, the method comprising:
A system of PFAS (Per-Poly-fluorinated alkyl substances) effluent liquid treatment, the system comprising:
A computer program product for controlling a PFAS (Per-Poly-fluorinated alkyl substances) effluent liquid treatment system, which includes a pump to pump a liquid received via an intake, a sediment filter to filter sediment from the liquid, a granular activated carbon (GAC) device, disposed downstream of the sediment filter, to remove organic contaminants from the liquid, one or more ion exchange resin columns, disposed downstream of the GAC device, to remove PFAS constituents from the liquid, and a plurality of control valves, the computer program product embodied on a non-transitory tangible computer readable medium, comprising:
