The amount of #PFAS #remediation projects are launching exponentially, and rightly so. This non-degradable contaminant, as well as all other contaminants, are unfortunately not sitting around until they are removed. Instead they move due to groundwater flows and spread further than you think. Effective remediation thanks to a comprehensive preliminary study: 🔎 Site Assessment: Sample and analyze PFAS contamination extent. ⚠️ Risk Evaluation: Assess health and environmental risks. 💡 Feasibility Analysis: Evaluate and select effective remediation technologies and actions Conventional methodes get you so far.. To get a full answer on the questions above, we will need to take the spread (#massflux) of every contamination, including PFAS, into account. The technology is here! Every sub-surface, weather conditions and contamination type impact the spread of the contamination differently. Get in touch with iFLUX to execute your remediation project with confidence. https://lnkd.in/eVDhcV8t #iFLUXSampler - Overtime measurements of pollution spread: https://lnkd.in/exjVe8Yc

🏆 Fantastic News! As a proud partner of the Bankbusters consortium, iFLUX is thrilled to announce that the project secured second place in the Belgian Construction Awards last week, under the category Climate Future Projects. Congratulations to all the partners involved! This groundbreaking initiative leverages soft dredged material to restore eroded tidal marshes. By doing so, it enhances biodiversity, strengthens natural flood defenses, and contributes to a more sustainable and resilient environment. At iFLUX, we are proud to bring our expertise in groundwater monitoring and innovative solutions to this project. Bankbusters exemplifies how science and technology can create a meaningful impact on ecosystems and communities alike. 🌍 Learn more about the Bankbusters project: https://lnkd.in/e7Z9bBgg Bankbusters is a collaboration between iFLUX, DEME Group, Jan De Nul Group, the University of Antwerp, and Ghent University. The project is facilitated by De Blauwe Cluster (Blue Cluster) vzw (Blue Cluster) and supported by funding from VLAIO - Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship. #iFLUX #innovation #sustainability #blueeconomy #dredging #belgianconstructionawards

An estimated 17,000 contaminated sites exist in Europe, and 12.5 million Europeans are living in communities affected by PFAS-contaminated drinking water. The European Environmental Bureau highlights a crucial point: Tackling PFAS water contamination must be a priority for the European Commission Prevention is always better than cure. Phasing out harmful substances and preventing their spread in the environment is essential to safeguard our natural resources. Proper management is critical to protecting sensitive receptors, such as drinking water extraction areas, ensuring a healthy environment for everyone. 👉 The good news? iFLUX can help! At iFLUX, we provide solutions for groundwater monitoring. Our flux measurements offer valuable insights into what happens underground, showing how much pollution (mass) moves and at what speed through groundwater. 📊 These insights enable effective and targeted remediation.

📢🧐Remediation is extremely costly, so it’s best to do it in a targeted way and get it right the first time. 👉 New blog online: https://lnkd.in/dyn_2ad2 The iFLUX Sampler is a unique tool that accurately monitors groundwater dynamics and contamination. When should you use the iFLUX Sampler? And when not? We interviewed our colleague Erik Bosmans #remediation #pfasmonitoring #groundwaterdynamics #groundwatermonitoring

On December 3–4, the SGU is hosting the Groundwater Days 2024 conference in Uppsala. This event brings together municipalities, government agencies, county administrations, researchers, businesses, and organizations working on groundwater-related issues. We’re excited to share that our colleague Ilse Postma will attend the conference and present a poster. If you're attending, don’t miss the chance to connect with her and discuss our latest work on groundwater management. We are looking forward to an inspiring event filled with knowledge-sharing and collaboration! 🌍💧 👉Do you want to meet her?: ilse@iflux.be #sweden #groundwater #sgu #grundvattendagarna

Whether it was IceFLUX or iFLUX on Ice, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that we had an amazing teambuilding experience at the curling rink yesterday! Work hard, play hard, as they say! 🥌❄️ #TeamBuilding #WorkHardPlayHard #Curling #iFLUX

📢 🌳 Understanding groundwater dynamics in wetlands is crucial for maintaining their hydrological balance, which supports biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Management practices aiming to conserve or restore the ecological status strongly depend on estimates of groundwater flow. At the BioFlow conference, iFLUX founder Goedele Verreydt will present the iFLUX sensor, our groundwater flow sensor, with case studies from Poland and Belgium. Poland here we come! 👉Check in via: https://lnkd.in/e3Eu2HS9 #groundwater #wetlands #flow #biodiversity #flux

🧐"Keeping your boots on the ground" is one of the core values of the iFLUX team members. And sometimes, those boots nearly end up underwater! Setting up a groundwater monitoring network is one thing—quite pleasant in summery conditions ☀️. Maintaining and managing that same network, however, is a different story. But at iFLUX, we are committed to taking care of our monitoring networks in all kinds of weather 🌦️. And it’s clear that the slightly higher (ground)water levels these days won’t stop us—or our colleague Olivier Goolenaers in particular—from getting the job done! 😉 #groundwatermonitoring #groundwater #sensornetworks

👉 Our colleagues Marjan Joris and Ivo Van de Moortel are practicing their German at the 'DECHEMA Symposium Strategien zur Boden- und Grundwassersanierung' in Frankfurt. If you're in the area, be sure to stop by and learn more about our groundwater monitoring solutions. 🍻🍺Later, we’d love to treat you to a special Belgian craft beer! #bodensanierung #grundwassersanierung #dechema #groundwatermonitoring

Yesterday, our hydrogeologist Jeroen November was on the stage representing iFLUX at the symposium "Fresh and Saline Groundwater", organized by the Nederlandse Hydrologische Vereniging (NHV) at the inspiring Cultuurhuis Garenspinnerij in Gouda. Jeroen shared insights on our innovative monitoring network at Dunea, showcasing how flux measurements enable real-time monitoring of the critical watershed.
