Clean Harbors Awarded $110 Million in Projects for PFAS Water Filtration System in Hawaii

  • Company Teams with Government Supplier V2X
  • Contracts for Next Three Years Build Upon Water Filtration Work Conducted at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickman Since 2022

Clean Harbors, Inc. (NYSE: CLH) (“Clean Harbors” or the “Company”), the leading provider of environmental and industrial services throughout North America, today announced that it has won contracts worth $110 million over the next three years related to its PFAS water filtration work at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH). Working with logistics supplier V2X, Clean Harbors will expand the use of its regenerative carbon filtration and resin units that have been operating in Hawaii since 2022.

“We are excited to grow our relationship with V2X and the U.S. War Department at JBPHH,” said Eric Gerstenberg, Co-Chief Executive Officer. “For the past several years, our regenerative carbon filtration system in Pearl Harbor has been helping to provide potable water that is safe from PFAS. We are proud to continue to work with V2X to protect the health and safety of America’s service members from the potential harm of these forever chemicals. As part of this latest contract, we will roughly double the size of what was already the largest water filtration system installation in Clean Harbors’ history.”

Clean Harbors will now be responsible for filtering approximately 4.2 million gallons of water daily at JBPHH. Working closely with both V2X and the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC), the Company assisted in the custom design of the system, completed the installation of each phase and has maintained full operational control.

Mike Battles, Co-Chief Executive Officer, said, “Whether at military bases, airports, firefighting schools or certain industrial locations, PFAS from AFFF firefighting foam and other applications have leached into groundwater where contamination can threaten the drinking water supply. In addition to carbon filtration systems, we have introduced our ‘Total PFAS Solution,’ which addresses all phases of these forever chemicals from analysis to water filtration to remediation to disposal. Today, Clean Harbors remains the only company that can deliver comprehensive end-to-end PFAS solutions at commercial scale, including safe thermal destruction. We’re thrilled to collaborate with the U.S. War Department, V2X and other customers in addressing this critical environmental challenge while protecting the health of our communities and armed forces.”

Clean Harbors’ Total PFAS Solution offering is detailed on its PFAS website – www.cleanharbors.com/PFAS.
