A system is described for the treatment of fluorochemicals in an aqueous environment, the system includes: a first treatment station configured to receive a first stream or volume of water comprising flurochemicals, the first treatment station configured to provide a rist treatment to the first stream or volume of water to thereby provide a second stream or volume of water comprising fluorochemicals; and a second treatment station configured, to treat the second stream or volume of water by ultrasonically induced cavitation at a frequency within the range from about 15 kHz to about 1100 kHz. A process for the treatment of fluorochemicals in water is also described, the process comprising: applying a first treatment to a first stream or volume of water comprising fluorochemicals, the first treatment producing a second stream or volume of water comprising flurorochemicals; and applying a second treatment to the second stream or volume of water, the second treatment comprising ultrasonically induced cavitation at a frequency within the range from about 15 kHz to about 1100 kHz to thereby breaking down the fluorochemicals into constituent components. The first treatment station is a filtration station, a reverse osmosis station, an ultrafiltration station or nanofiltration station. |
