Underway: Important PFAS Research, Supported by Enviropacific
Research is underway by the University of New South Wales into better and more effective ways to remove PFAS from contaminated water. Earlier this year, University scientists received about $3 million from the Australian Research Council to study the problem of Per- And Poly-Fluoroalkyl Substances in the environment and how to utilise biological and chemical […]
Chemical Immobilisation / Stabilisation
Treating PFAS is a complex challenge but one that Enviropacific has demonstrated and is well equipped to do so. One method is using thermal desorption of contaminated material; another is chemical immobilisation. Chemical immobilisation, or stabilisation, is achieved by adding specialist reagents to the soil that chemically immobilise the PFAS constituents. This method reduces the […]

PFAS: Solving Australia’s contamination problem
As one of Australia’s biggest ever class actions gets underway, it’s also important to know that there are solutions to the Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) problem. These substances are toxic, persistent and bioaccumulate in the environment with potential risks to human and environmental health. As the ABC recently reported, up to 40,000 people who […]
Another successful water treatment project
Enviropacific’s Water Team has achieved some impressive results at one of Sydney’s biggest remediation sites, the former Millers Point Gasworks…not only for the client but also the surrounding environment – honouring its mission of enhancing the environment. At a recent international conference held in Adelaide, the company’s Water Division boss, Sagar Adhikari, outlined the challenges […]
The Surging Demand For Cleaner Water: Enviropacific Responds
Growing threats to the environment and increased public awareness of the same is driving demand for more effective solutions to help prevent, stop and in some cases reverse environmental damage. Nowhere are we, at Enviropacific, seeing this more so than in the demand for our water treatment services. Water shortages are being felt across Australia, […]
