Veolia Opens One of the Largest PFAS Treatment Plants in the U.S., Delivering High-Quality Drinking Water to Over 100,000 Delaware Residents - CleanTechnica

Veolia has inaugurated one of the largest PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) treatment plants in the United States, located at the Stanton Water Treatment Plant in Wilmington, Delaware. This $35 million facility is the largest of its kind in the Northeast and is designed to remove regulated PFAS compounds from up to 30 million gallons of drinking water daily, serving over 100,000 residents. The plant fully complies with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s PFAS regulations and sets a global benchmark for cost-effective, large-scale PFAS water treatment. It features 42 large vessels filled with granular activated carbon to adsorb contaminants, and includes an on-site laboratory for ongoing testing and innovation in filtration methods. This project is part of Veolia’s broader BeyondPFAS initiative, which aims to develop over 100 PFAS treatment sites across the U.S., potentially securing safe drinking water for nearly 2 million people. The Stanton plant took three years to design and build, with
