Ground Water & Wastewater Applications

Heavy metals are found in many industrial wastewater as well as sometimes occurring naturally in some groundwaters. Typically present in relatively low levels as compared to other dissolved ions, the ability to selectively remove these ions is accomplished with a specialty weak acid cation resin.

Naturally occurring organic matter (NOM) is readily removed by strong base anion resins. Acrylic strong base resins and styrenic resins with high porosity work better because they are easier to regenerate.

PFAS compounds have been used in industry and consumer products worldwide since the 1940s. Their remarkable hydro- and oleophobic characteristics (ability to repel both oil and water) give them utility in a seemingly endless array of applications including nonstick cookware, water repellent clothing, stain resistant fabrics and carpets, product packaging, some cosmetics, some firefighting foams, and literally tens of thousands of other products that resist grease, water, and oil.

More than 500 forever chemicals are being actively used in products and industries around the world. A United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) toxicity database, DSSTox, lists over 14,700 PFAS compounds in existence, while other toxicity databases lists many multiples more.

ResinTech offers a variety of PFOS & PFAS remediation options, including PFOS filtration and PFOS testing kits to help you identify and remove these chemicals from your needed water.
