The corresponding measures are divided into preparatory work, coordination with partner companies, monitoring and inspection of the system during the measure and support after the measure. Hammann has expertise in a wide range of applications of comprex\u00ae technology and can therefore adapt the cleaning process optimally to the new requirements. Trained employees inspect the extinguishing system and determine preparatory work. This includes defining the cleaning sections, including feed points for the comprex\u00ae unit,\u00a0 discharge points to the disposal facility, any necessary conversion measures and, finally, planning the sequence in which the pipe sections are to be cleaned. The plans drawn up enable comprex\u00ae units to be used properly and efficiently in combination with the partner companies&#8217; equipment.<\/p><p>In addition to improved cleaning, the use of comprex\u00ae technology offers further advantages. In contrast to conventional rinsing with water or detergent-containing rinsing media, impulse technology reduces the quantities of water and expensive detergents required, thus saving disposal costs.

These persistent organic substances are hardly degradable in the environment. If such substances have properties that are harmful to humans and the environment and also have the ability to spread over long distances in the environment, they are persistent organic pollutants (POPs).  <\/p>\n<p>The EU has restricted the use of some PFAS, further restrictions are in preparation. <br \/>More information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umweltbundesamt.de\/eu-beschraenkt-verwendung-weiterer-pfas\">www.umweltbundesamt.de<\/a><\/p>\n<p>PFAS were used in foaming agents to form a water film between the fuel and the foam and thus effectively fight the fire. The so-called Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) consisted of various compounds, mainly perfluorinated acids and their salts with different molecular sizes. Due to the large number of compounds, it is difficult to regulate their use.  <\/p>\n<p>Requirements are based on reliable analytical methods. PFAS contents in AFFF can be determined using various methods. In addition to single substance analysis, it is also possible to determine sum parameters such as TOP assay, adsorbable organic fluorine (AOF) or extractable organic fluorine (EOF). Chromatographic methods in combination with mass spectrometry or adsorption methods are suitable for extremely low concentrations.   <\/p>\n<p>Of all the methods mentioned here, single substance analysis has the lowest limit of quantification. The concentrations are in the range of 1 ng\/l to 5 ng\/l for water samples and in the range of 10 \u00b5g\/l to 100 \u03bcg\/l for foam concentrate samples. However, an analytical standard must be available for each substance. So far, such standards are available for less than 100 PFAS. Sum parameters cover several compounds.    <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-738fc10 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"738fc10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Standards for the determination of PFAS and PFC<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f61296d eael-dt-th-align-center eael-table-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-data-table\" data-id=\"f61296d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"eael-data-table.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-data-table-wrap\" data-table_id=\"f61296d\" id=\"eael-data-table-wrapper-f61296d\" data-custom_responsive=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<table class=\"tablesorter eael-data-table center\" id=\"eael-data-table-f61296d\">\n\t\t\t    <thead>\n\t\t\t        <tr class=\"table-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            <th class=\"\" id=\"\" colspan=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"data-table-header-text\">Standard: Output<\/span><\/th>\n\t\t\t        \t\t\t\t            <th class=\"\" id=\"\" colspan=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"data-table-header-text\">Title<\/span><\/th>\n\t\t\t        \t\t\t\t        <\/tr>\n\t\t\t    <\/thead>\n\t\t\t  \t<tbody>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t        \t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td colspan=\"\" rowspan=\"\" class=\"\" id=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"td-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"td-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tISO 21675:\n2019-10\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td colspan=\"\" rowspan=\"\" class=\"\" id=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"td-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"td-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWater quality &#8211;

PFAS residues remain on surfaces and poorly flowing areas of the extinguishing systems. While mobile containers with adhering fluorine-containing residues can be disposed of properly, special cleaning technology is required for permanently installed tanks and pipelines. Due to their low wettability, PFAS are difficult to mobilize. This has led to the development of special cleaning agents such as Fluoro <sup>FighterTM<\/sup>.    <\/p>\n<p>The cost of these cleaning agents and, above all, the cost of disposing of the PFAS-containing wastewater that is produced means that they must be used sparingly. The combination of special techniques contributes to this: water-based cleaning agents, <sup>comprex\u00ae<\/sup> cleaning and appropriate waste water treatment. This combination conserves resources, i.e. significantly less fresh water for the cleaning solution and correspondingly less energy for burning the discharged solids and adsorbents. In addition, this procedure makes it possible to effectively remove PFAS residues from existing extinguishing systems.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-00562b5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"00562b5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-71c6eb2\" data-id=\"71c6eb2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d54890 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4d54890\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Thanks to PFAS&#8217;s expertise, Arcadis is in charge of the measures.
