On behalf of the Flemish government, the BAT-Knowledge Centre of VITO is conducting a study on water treatment techniques for removing PFAS from drainage water. We are mapping out available information on:
- Applied techniques and their removal efficiency
- Costs of these purification methods
- Feasibility of discharge standards
Currently, discharge standards of 100 ng/l per individual PFAS are often imposed (cf. “De cirkel rond? Final report of the commissioner for tackling the PFAS issue”), but within the framework of the European Water Framework Directive, this is not always sufficient to prevent deterioration of water quality. A better understanding of technical possibilities and achievable final concentrations is therefore essential.
Do you have experience with PFAS removal in drainage water or relevant water treatment techniques?
We warmly invite you to share your practical experience, measurement data, cost information, or other insights with us.
The general conclusions and boundary conditions will be made available via the EMIS website.
You can contact us via bbt@vito.be.
Thank you for your cooperation!
