SITE Technology Capsule: Filter Flow Technology, Inc., Colloid Polishing FilterMethod

摘要

The Filter Flow Technology, Inc. (FFT), Colloid Polishing Filter Method (CPFM)was demonstrated at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Rocky Flats Plant (RFP) as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) program. The CPFM system is designed to remove ionic, colloidal, and complexed radionuclides and heavy metals from water. Pollutants are removed from water predominantly via sorption or chemical complexing. The purpose of the demonstration was to evaluate the ability of the CPFM system to remove low levels of uranium and gross alpha contamination from RFP groundwater.
