LITTLE
ROCK, Ark., Dec. 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Montrose Environmental Group,
Inc. (NYSE: MEG), a global environmental solutions company, was
selected to install its per- and polyfluorinated substances
(PFAS) mobile treatment system at Sydney Water's Cascade Water
Filtration Plant (WFP) outside of Sydney,
Australia to address PFAS in drinking water.
In June 2024, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS)
and PFHxS, two forms of PFAS, were detected in the outlet
of the Cascade WFP. Sydney
Water took prompt action to find a solution that
would quickly begin removing PFAS compounds from drinking
water.
As a leading provider of water treatment solutions in
Australia and a pioneer
in treating PFAS-impacted water in the country, Montrose was engaged by Sydney Water,
Australia's largest water
utility, to implement a mobile solution for the immediate
treatment of drinking water while Sydney Water pursues long-term upgrades to the
Cascade WFP. Installing Montrose's
system at the WFP will help reduce PFAS to below the limits
proposed in the draft Australian Drinking Water Guidelines, which
are set to be finalized in April
2025.
Roch Cheroux, Managing Director of Sydney Water, commented: "We are committed
to leading the way with new ideas to ensure the continued delivery
of world-class drinking water to our
communities. This initiative to install a rapid
treatment system reflects our commitment to deliver safe and
reliable water to all our customers."
"Montrose is proud to be
working with Sydney Water, which has
a shared commitment to providing communities with safe drinking
water," said Vijay Manthripragada,
president and chief executive officer of Montrose Environmental
Group. "The installation of these multi-million-dollar systems
underscores our commitment to the Australian market and achieves
our organic growth goals in the region. By deepening our
relationship with the broader Australian environmental services
sector, we are confident in our prospects for 2025 and beyond."
