“Fyto-PFAS”: New Approaches to Groundwater Safety
Still a decade from the first alarm of PFAS reaching and contaminated drinking water nothing have happens with the source of contaminating. Fire practices sites scattered around Sweden and rest of the world is still open to weather. Witch slowly wash out the PFAS into the groundwater and threatens our drinking water. “Fyto-PFAS” is a…
UPDATE: Pyto remediating of PFAS training site with figures
Now we have some preliminary results from this small non scientific trial using phytoremediation showing a uptake of 15-30mg/ha/year. We use a simple “pump and treat” by recirculate a groundwater over a plot 80m2 planted with willow. The total Pfas in the recirculated water was about 300 000ng/l in the start and over the summer…

Now we have some preliminary results from this small non scientific trial using phytoremediation showing a uptake of 15-30mg/ha/year. We use a simple “pump and treat” by recirculate a groundwater over a plot 10x10m planted with willow. The total pfas in the recirculated water was about 300 000ng/l in the start and over the summer…
Pyto remediating of PFAS training site
Lack of simple, cost-effective methods of stabilization and purification of trainings site means that nothing happens.But doing something for little money, eg covering the soil with a plant cover would at least slow down the leakage of PFAS pending a final solution A current treatment option is to stabilize the contaminated ground withan additive (eg…
Efterlysning: Ni med avloppsproblem
Vi har kanske lösningen……… Inom JBV projektet “Ökad Energiskogsodling genom Samverkan från Producent till Användare” har vi möjlighet att utan kostnad göra förstudier på en Cirkulär Avloppslösning där näringen används för gödsling av energiskog tex Salix, Poppel, Hybrid asp mm. I ett tidigare JBV projekt hittade vi lösningen för Björnekulla Foods AB i Svalöv. Hela verksamheten…
Pfas train up running
Whis week LIFE-SOuRCE’s consortium visit the landfill Hovgården, Uppsala to have a look at the projects Swedish’s pilot witch now is up running treating 150m3 / day of Pfas groundwater. Different treatment technique’s in combination is tested. Laqua Treatment is supplying the Phytoremidation leg using the new Laqua Hybrid technique
Test of firestation washwater with bio-char
After a call-out and returning to the station, hoses and equipment must be washed and uniforms wash and re-imprinted before the next call-out. The washing water can then contain all kinds of pollution’s ranging from un-burned fuels, soot, heavy metals and a cocktail of organic residues including Pfas. Analysis levels of Pfas 11 could bee…
Leachate treatment with Poplar
In Sweden, Salix (Willow) is a popular method for treating leachate. But Salix in principle requires flat arable land for a good establishment but also to be able to be rationally harvest by machine. Many of today’s Salix plantations on and around a landfill do not meet the cultivation’s requirements, which is why the maintenance…
New start for Energy forestry
Increased willow production through cooperation from producer to user Agricultural land not suitable/needed for growing food or fodder can be used for energy production, e.g. energy forest, but agriculture’s interest in this has decreased in the last 20 years. Recently the situation has turned to a fuel shortage. An organized cooperation between the actors is…
