Design PFAS Removal Systems with Transcend
Utilities and Engineering Consultants can automatically generate accurate CAPEX and OPEX estimates, as well as a full set of engineering documentation for both Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) and Ion Exchange (IX) PFAS removal projects.
The Power of GAC and IX Design Capabilities
The Transcend Design Generator (TDG) allows users to effortlessly size GAC & IX systems tailored to their specific needs, determine optimal locations within their site, and obtain crucial operational and capital expenditure estimates. This streamlined process not only saves time but also enhances decision-making to reduce project risk, ensuring that utilities can quickly and accurately estimate costs and accelerate their PFAS removal projects.
Comprehensive Outputs for Informed Decisions
One of the standout benefits of the GAC & IX design capabilities is the comprehensive array of outputs TDG provides. Users can expect:
- Civil Drawings: Preliminary illustrations of the physical layout and construction requirements, including sections and 2D/3D views.
- 3D BIM Models: Advanced 3D representations of the facility, aiding in visualization and planning.
- OPEX Tables: Operational expenditure estimates to help manage long-term costs.
- Equipment Lists: A complete inventory of the necessary equipment for the GAC & IX systems.
- Process Flow Diagrams: Clear schematics of the treatment process, ensuring understanding from engineering and operations professionals.
- Technical Description Reports: In-depth reports detailing the technical aspects of the design.
These outputs equip utilities and engineering consultants with all the necessary tools to make informed, strategic decisions.
Input Parameters for Customized Designs
To generate a comprehensive PFAS removal facility design, users input key project parameters into TDG:
- Site Information: Details about the location and physical characteristics of the site.
- Basic Flow Parameters: Data on water flow rates and patterns.
- Water Quality Data: Information on the specific contaminants present and their concentrations.With these inputs, the TDG can create a tailored design that meets the unique needs of each utility.
- Design Preferences: User-specific preferences and requirements for the facility design.
Within just a few minutes, TDG will create a tailored design package that meets the unique needs of each utility
Aligning with the EPA's Strategic Roadmap
The new GAC & IX design capabilities are perfectly aligned with the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) strategic roadmap for PFAS removal. The EPA’s plan focuses on targeted removal of PFAS at the source and in exposed bodies such as soil and water. TDG supports these goals by providing practical, scalable solutions for medium to large-sized utilities, helping them address PFAS contamination more effectively.
Navigating Regulatory Challenges
Regulatory compliance is a significant concern for utilities dealing with PFAS contamination. The GAC & IX design capabilities help utilities navigate these challenges by facilitating the creation of proof of concept and trial period designs. These preliminary designs can be used to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements, providing a clear path toward full-scale implementation.
