Veolia Opens Stanton PFAS Treatment Plant in Delaware

Veolia has commissioned one of the largest PFAS treatment systems in the United States at the Stanton Water Treatment Plant in Delaware, serving more than 100,000 residents. The facility, designed to remove regulated PFAS compounds from drinking water, treats up to 30 million gallons per day and fully meets U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards. The \$35 million plant features 42 large vessels filled with granular activated carbon and includes a laboratory for ongoing testing of filtration media and treatment methods.

This new system adds to Veolia’s existing 33 PFAS treatment facilities across the U.S., supporting the company’s BeyondPFAS program, which aims to implement PFAS treatment at over 100 water production sites. The project establishes a replicable model for cost-effective PFAS removal and highlights Veolia’s approach to improving water quality and public health while complying with regulatory requirements.

“In line with our GreenUp strategic program, this major infrastructure milestone highlights Veolia’s strong commitment to delivering environmental security solutions to communities worldwide. Tackling micropollutants lies at the heart of our mission, and Veolia is proud to lead the way in testing, treating and responsibly disposing of regulated PFAS contaminants.” said Estelle Brachlianoff, CEO of Veolia.
