Parsons Expands PFAS Remediation with Four Patented Destructive Technologies
PSN•Parsons has expanded PFAS remediation offerings in North America with four core technologies—Hot ISCO, Catalyzed UV PFAS Destruction, Thermal Desorption and AFFF Cleanout—backed by 20 years of in-house R&D and patented processes. These integrated treatments target soil, water and infrastructure, positioning the company for new regulatory-driven cleanup contracts.
1. Portfolio Expansion
Parsons has announced an expansion of its PFAS remediation services across the United States and Canada, introducing four primary technologies: Hot In Situ Chemical Oxidation (Hot ISCO), Catalyzed UV PFAS Destruction, Thermal Desorption and AFFF Cleanout. This move leverages the company’s 20 years of in-house research and patented processes to address complex soil, groundwater and infrastructure contamination.
2. Core Technologies Overview
Hot ISCO employs elevated temperatures and in-situ chemical oxidation to annihilate PFAS at source zones and in extracted water streams. Catalyzed UV technology achieves over 99% PFAS destruction in wastewater and groundwater at lower energy and capital costs. Thermal Desorption thermally removes PFAS from soils for off-gas destruction, while AFFF Cleanout purges fire suppression systems to 99+% PFAS removal.
3. Market Position and Growth Prospects
With this integrated suite, Parsons aims to meet emerging regulatory standards and capitalize on rising demand for sustainable PFAS solutions. Completed projects, including a 2,000 cubic yard thermal desorption at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, underscore its execution capacity and bolster prospects for new remediation contracts under stricter environmental mandates.
