Focus #12 | Protecting the world against PFAS chemicals with our PFAS wash

In our daily lives, a hidden problem lingers, infiltrating the air we breathe, the water we drink, and even the food we consume. This concern goes by the acronym PFAS, and its pervasive presence has become a growing concern for scientists, environmentalists, and the general public alike. Although the danger of PFAS only came to public attention in recent years, Envisan, the environmental division of Jan De Nul, has been conducting research on how to treat PFAS contaminants for years. The result? We are applying techniques on a large scale today to remediate PFAS in soil and water - with commendable results - and have other ones in the pipeline to throw into the PFAS fight in the near future.
The current go-to technique to remediate PFAS contaminated soils is soil washing. By adding special features to detach PFAS from the soil and introducing advanced water treatment, we perfected this soil washing process. In mid-2023, we commissioned a new plant in Ghent to apply this technique on a large scale.
