• Clean Earth scales Detroit contaminated water operation to become one of the first large-scale PFAS treatment plants in Michigan

HATBORO, Pa., Dec. 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clean Earth, A Harsco Company (NYSE: HSC), today announced that its Detroit water treatment plant is now equipped to accept PFAS- contaminated water, making it one of the first large-scale-PFAS treatment facilities in Michigan.

A leader in providing disposal and recycling solutions for contaminated soil, dredged material, and hazardous and non-hazardous materials, Clean Earth’s Detroit plant is one of the first large-scale PFAS water treatment plants in Michigan constructed to treat PFAS and other emerging contaminants. The facility can accept PFAS-contaminated water 24 hours a day, seven days a week via container or tanker truck from anywhere in the United States and Canada. Treatment of emerging contaminants in water at the Clean Earth Michigan facility provides local municipalities and businesses a large-volume treatment option that goes above and beyond current PFAS-contaminated water treatment options.

The Clean Earth PFAS-contaminated water treatment plant is also equipped with a dedicated, onsite state-of-the-art PFAS testing laboratory. This laboratory ensures that the contaminated water meets facility requirements for proper treatment and backend outlets and, at the same time, offers solutions that are both faster and more cost-effective. Proper testing is a crucial step in the disposal process to ensure that all requirements are satisfied to proceed with proper treatment of the contaminated water.

“Clean Earth is at the forefront of providing solutions for PFAS and emerging contaminants,” said Clean Earth Senior Vice President of Operations Hector Sanchez. “These environmental solutions are critical. At Clean Earth we continually invest in research and development across all our divisions, and in technologies that are scalable, to provide disposal and recycling solutions that far surpass industry standards.”
