Tetra Tech Selected to Design and Test Mobile Treatment Technology for PFAS-Impacted Soils and Sediments

Business Wire
Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK), a leading provider of high-end
consulting and engineering services in water, environment and
sustainable infrastructure, announced today that the U.S.
Department of Defense (DoD) Environmental Security Technology
Certification Program selected the Company and its partner Texas
A&M University (TAMU) to design, fabricate, and demonstrate a
prototype mobile electron beam (eBeam) system for on-site treatment
of soils and sediments impacted by per- and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFAS).
Tetra Tech and TAMU will develop and test an effective mobile
treatment technology to destroy PFAS in soils and sediments. eBeam
is a destructive technology that generates extremely large numbers
of high-energy electrons that are used to destroy chemical
compounds. While eBeam technology has been used successfully to
remediate various chemicals in soils, this will be the first
instance of field testing the technology to destroy PFAS compounds.
Research has shown eBeam technology to be up to 99 percent
effective in destroying PFAS in soils.
Tetra Tech’s PFAS remediation experts will design and fabricate
the prototype mobile treatment system and conduct extensive field
testing of the prototype treatment system on impacted soils and
sediments at candidate DoD sites. The mobile system will be tested
as a model for a future, larger scale mobile system or fixed-base
facility PFAS treatment system and demonstrate the scalability of
the technology for widespread implementation and
commercialization.
“Tetra Tech has used our Leading with Science® approach to
support the U.S. Department of Defense to safely address potential
chemicals of concern at its facilities and in the surrounding
environment for decades,” said Dan Batrack, Tetra Tech Chairman and
CEO. “We are pleased to partner with Texas A&M University to
advance the use of eBeam technology for PFAS destruction and to
continue supporting the DoD in restoring the environment and
protecting the safety of our service members and the health of our
communities.”
