US know-how agency Common Atomics Electromagnetic Methods (GA-EMS) stated its business PERSES™ waste destruction system shall be delivered to a Lake Elmo, Minnesota waste administration facility to exhibit the system’s industrial-scale capabilities to destroy a wide range of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) waste streams.
GA-EMS was awarded a contract by Bay West LLC, an environmental and remediation firm main the analysis program funded by the US Military Engineer Analysis and Growth Centre (ERDC) to ship, set up, and function PERSES for a number of mission demonstrations to destroy PFAS and PFAS contaminated waste media. The system shall be on the Lake Elmo website for about 4 weeks after which eliminated to different websites for added assessments beneath completely different contracts.
“Minnesota’s authorities management, in addition to states throughout the nation are actively implementing methods to remove PFAS from the setting and mitigate the opposed results these ‘without end chemical substances’ have on public well being and security,” stated Scott Forney, president of GA-EMS. “We’re excited to convey the destruction energy of PERSES to Lake Elmo as native, state, and federal authorities companies proceed to guage PERSES’ capabilities to remove PFAS from a myriad of waste streams.

In 2024, Bay West carried out testing on the GA-EMS full-scale testing facility in San Diego and offered ERDC outcomes evaluation to confirm PERSES 99.99% and better PFAS destruction effectivity in a wide range of waste media from each authorities and business equipped sources. The supply of PERSES to the Lake Elmo facility is the subsequent step within the mission to begin on-site, industrial-scale destruction of PFAS and different natural waste in media together with Aqueous Movie-Forming Foam (AFFF), landfill leachate, biosolid “sludge”, soils and sediment, and granular activated carbon (GAC) and resin beads from filtration therapy techniques.
Bay West, LLC, a nationally acknowledged environmental consulting and remediation firm headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, supplies options to authorities and business enterprises to navigate advanced environmental considerations and ongoing remediation challenges.
