Description

Description	The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) is evaluating advanced treatment options to improve removal of 1,4-dioxane from the region's drinking water supply. The options include advanced oxidation process upgrades, foam fractionation with photocatalytic destruction, and propane-based bioremediation. The advanced oxidation process upgrade involves adding a higher intensity UV light system with chlorine to enhance contaminant breakdown, estimated to remove about 90% of 1,4-dioxane at a capital cost of around $17 million. Foam fractionation is experimental and uses foam and UV light to reduce contaminants by about 90%. Propane-based bioremediation uses microbes to break down 1,4-dioxane and could be integrated with existing infrastructure, likely at lower cost but less effective. CFPUA is considering pilot testing the propane method in fiscal year 2026-2027.
