New Jersey Town First to Deploy Breakthrough “Forever Chemical” Killer
the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Lake Stockholm- NJ, New Jersey is taking a massive stand against PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). As “forever chemicals” continue to dominate environmental headlines, Lake Stockholm, NJ, has officially become the site of a technological milestone in the fight for clean drinking water.
BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQX:BLGO) has announced the successful installation of its patented Aqueous Electrostatic Concentrator (AEC) at the Lake Stockholm municipal water facility. This isn’t just another filter; it’s a shift in how we handle water contamination.
Why the AEC Technology is a Game-Changer for Lake Stockholm
Most conventional water treatments struggle with two major issues: short-chain PFAS (which are notoriously slippery to catch) and excessive waste.
The Lake Stockholm installation addresses these head-on:
-
Comprehensive Removal: The AEC effectively targets both long- and short-chain PFAS, ensuring water quality that exceeds the strict standards set by both the EPA and the state of New Jersey.
-
Minimal Waste Footprint: Traditional systems often create large volumes of contaminated waste that must be transported and treated elsewhere. Lake Stockholm, which lacks an onsite waste outlet, needed a cleaner solution. The AEC produces ultra-low waste, solving the disposal dilemma.
-
Sustainable Compliance: By removing PFAS to levels below state and federal limits, the system provides a long-term roadmap for municipal safety.
“The Lake Stockholm installation marks an important milestone… this system will provide the community with drinking water that exceeds both the EPA’s and New Jersey’s stricter PFAS drinking water standards.” — Dennis Calvert, CEO of BioLargo
The Road Ahead: 12 Months of Rigorous Validation
The installation is just the beginning. Over the next year, the system will undergo intensive monitoring in coordination with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and the U.S. EPA.
This 12-month “stress test” will generate the data needed to prove the AEC’s efficacy for other municipalities across the country. According to Tonya Chandler, President of BioLargo Equipment, Solutions and Technologies, the interest pipeline is growing daily as utilities search for low-waste, scalable solutions.
At a Glance: BioLargo’s AEC Advantage
