INDIANAPOLIS, July 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Port of Seattle Fire Department at the Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport (SEA), working with TRS Group (TRS), is the
first airport in the United States
to use the PerfluorAd™ process to remove and thoroughly clean
aqueous film forming foams (AFFF), which contain per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), sometimes called "forever
chemicals," from all its aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF)
vehicles.
Seattle-Tacoma International is first
airport in the US to use a cleaning technology to remove PFAS from
fire trucks.
Randy Krause, Fire Chief, Port of
Seattle Fire Department, and
Megan King, Contaminated Soil &
Groundwater Program Manager, Aviation Environment and
Sustainability, Port of Seattle,
established a regional center at SEA to help smaller, local
airports clean their vehicles.
TRS is the North American licensee of the
PerfluorAd™ technology, which not only cleans the firefighting
systems but also concentrates the waste stream, minimizing offsite
waste disposal, supporting onsite wastewater discharge, and
reducing costs and liability. "If you put dishes in the dishwasher
and use cold water, do they come out clean? No," Krause said. "You
need warm water and a cleaning solution. TRS does just that with
PerfluorAd. The result is clean ARFF vehicles."
David Fleming, a founder of TRS
and the business development manager for PerfluorAd, stated,
"Randy Krause and Megan King are leading the effort to protect
firefighters and the environment from these harmful compounds."
TRS Group is a 100% employee-owned (ESOP) environmental
remediation firm with joint ventures and partnerships in
Europe, South America, and Asia. Using our patented thermal remediation
and PerfluorAd™ technologies, we have cleaned more than
200 sites. For more information, visit
