Aquagga recently completed a PFAS destruction demonstration as part of a Department of Defense (DoD) Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) project, in collaboration with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), the U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Navy. The demonstration supports efforts to standardize accepted PFAS destruction methodologies across the DoD and creates opportunities for scaling successful technologies.
Aquagga’s HALT technology was rigorously tested to process three concentrated PFAS-containing liquids and one AFFF mixture, and was the first destruction vendor to complete the scope of work.
“This project was a pivotal moment for us to demonstrate HALT’s capabilities and functionality, and we are incredibly proud of how our technology performed,” said Brian Pinkard, Ph.D., Aquagga CTO and Co-Founder. “We achieved safe and highly effective destruction of PFAS in challenging waste streams, proving that our solution operates reliably and efficiently in the field.”
“We’re grateful to be part of this groundbreaking initiative, working closely with key DoD stakeholders and other innovative companies to demonstrate scalable, cost-effective technology pairings to tackle broad DoD PFAS challenges,” said Chris Woodruff, COO and Co-Founder. “We look forward to pursuing follow-on opportunities, helping reduce PFAS liability for the DoD and eliminating harmful contaminants from drinking water supplies for service members and adjacent communities.”
