This Cooperative Agreement award, with a total funding amount of $602,500.00, was provided by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560). The project aims to treat two aquifers contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), making them unsuitable for use under current standards. Key areas of investigation include understanding the impact of inorganic ions on PFAS removal, exploring the benefits of hollow-fiber direct nanofiltration to reduce energy and chemical use, and assessing the effectiveness of electrocoagulation for integrated PFAS and hardness removal. The overarching goals are to reduce costs and energy requirements for water treatment, improve PFAS detection and characterization, and evaluate novel PFAS separation and destruction treatments. The award was granted to the Widefield Water & Sanitation District, located in Colorado Springs, CO, to conduct the research activities.
