Problem
Utilities and industrial operators face difficulty treating PFAS‑contaminated water because site conditions—such as limited space, variable flow, complex water chemistry, and constrained budgets—often prevent the use of standard, off‑the‑shelf treatment systems. This leads to oversized equipment, high capital costs, frequent media changeouts, and operational challenges that can delay compliance.
Solution
Sentinel H2O designs and delivers custom PFAS treatment trains that are engineered around the specific constraints of each site. By evaluating water quality, flow patterns, and space limitations, they size equipment and select from a range of granular activated carbon (GAC) and ion‑exchange (IX) media to create compact, high‑performance systems. Options include low‑profile polymer or steel vessels, skid‑mounted or containerized units, and modular multi‑vessel configurations with automated valve trees and SCADA integration. Sentinel also offers vessel‑swap logistics, pre‑loaded media vessels, and rapid‑deployment pilot skids to minimize downtime and reduce on‑site handling. Ongoing engineering support covers detailed sizing, specification development, commissioning, operator training, and remote monitoring, ensuring reliable PFAS removal while lowering capital and O&M expenses.
Target Audience
Primary customers are municipal water utilities, industrial water users, and wastewater treatment facilities that need PFAS removal solutions tailored to space‑constrained or budget‑sensitive sites.
Features
- Custom‑engineered low‑profile or containerized vessels (polymer or steel) to fit tight footprints
- Flexible media selection from multiple GAC and IX suppliers, including NSF‑certified reactivation options
- Advanced multi‑vessel designs (lead/lag/polish, parallel, redundant trains) for continuous operation during maintenance
- Automated valve trees, flow control, and SCADA integration for remote monitoring and reduced operator workload
- Vessel‑swap service with pre‑loaded, pre‑rinsed media vessels to eliminate on‑site media handling and downtime
- Minimal ancillary requirements with low water waste designs for sites lacking backwash facilities
- Rapid‑deployment pilot skids and rental tanks for validation or temporary treatment needs
- High‑touch engineering support: sizing, drawings, specifications, commissioning, and training
