Pilot Site 2
treatment train for Groundwater remediation
Location: Scaligeri, Italy
Test site: Municipal drinking water borehole and pumping station, reactivated as a pilot PFAS treatment site for the Vicenza water utility, located in the industrial area at the outskirts of Vicenza.
Pollution: Groundwater impacted by PFAS from a legacy industrial source in the Vicenza area.
Sum of PFAS in the Scaligeri borehole is in the low µg/L range, typically around 1,000 to 3,000 ng/L, with PFOA dominant and additional PFAS such as PFOS and several short-chain compounds present.
Treatment train:
Advanced oxidation process
Granular activated carbon
