Refineries process and produce large volumes of flammable materials. In order to mitigate the risk of fires, many rely on aqueous film forming foam or AFFF. This “fire fighting foam” is stored onsite in tanks and used to suppress fire during an emergency. Many types of AFFF contain high levels of PFAS.

A large refinery wanted to replace their current AFFF with a non-PFAS alternative. They hired us to dispose of the PFAS-containing waste.

At Veolia, we offer compliant, comprehensive PFAS waste handling and disposal. With the help of our Port Arthur incinerator, we’ve managed 143,550 gallons of PFAS-containing AFFF via high-temperature incineration. The Port Arthur incinerator is permitted to treat RCRA hazardous waste and PCB waste, and it is the only facility in the U.S. permitted to treat dioxin waste. The incineration process has a destruction and removal efficiency of 99.9999%.
