Treatment Details
Port 4. PFAS introduced with the natural gas or combustion air (t=0 sec) experience the full temperature profile (Figure 3) and flame chemistry before being analyzed by FTIR at Port 18 (t~7.4 sec). However, PFAS introduced at Ports 4‐12 experienced reduced temperatures, residence times, and exposure to flame chemistry. For example, CHF3 introduced at Port 12, was exposed to peak temperatures of ~830 °C (1526 °F) before being analyzed by FTIR at Port 18 ~3 sec later.

Thermal Treatment Results

CHF3>99% Table 2. Measured FTIR concentration was not 3x higher than residual indicating very little of the compound remaining.
C2F6>99% Table 2. Measured FTIR concentration was not 3x higher than residual indicating very little of the compound remaining.
