🌊 PFAS Water Treatment & Remediation Financial Model – Compliance, Treatment Plant, Disposal & Project Finance

This professional financial model is designed for evaluating PFAS water treatment and remediation projects driven by regulatory compliance, environmental risk, public-private infrastructure investment and long-term treatment contracts.

This is not a simple water plant model. It is a regulatory-driven remediation and project finance model built for PFAS-contaminated water systems, utilities, municipalities, industrial sites, airports, landfills, private water operators, infrastructure developers, environmental consultants, lenders and investors.

The model helps users analyze the financial feasibility of building and operating a PFAS treatment platform using multiple treatment technologies, including:

✅ Granular Activated Carbon
✅ Ion Exchange
✅ Reverse Osmosis
✅ Foam Fractionation
✅ Thermal Destruction / High-cost disposal pathway

🎯 Why You Need This Model

PFAS remediation is becoming a major infrastructure and compliance challenge for water utilities, municipalities, landfills, airports and industrial operators. Treatment costs can vary significantly depending on contamination level, selected technology, disposal pathway, testing frequency, contract structure and funding mix.

This model helps users understand:

✅ Is the PFAS treatment project financially feasible?
✅ Which treatment technology is more economical?
✅ How much revenue is required to support operations and debt?
✅ What is the impact of disposal cost increases?
✅ Does the project meet DSCR requirements?
✅ How do grants, debt and equity affect returns?
✅ What compliance risks may create penalties or overruns?

🧩 How to Use the Model

1️⃣ Start with the Control Panel / Input Section
2️⃣ Select treatment technology and operating assumptions
3️⃣ Enter project size, PFAS concentration and target treatment level
4️⃣ Review capex, opex, disposal and media replacement assumptions
5️⃣ Set contract revenue and escalation assumptions
6️⃣ Add financing assumptions, grants, debt and equity
7️⃣ Review dashboards, risk flags, DSCR, IRR, NPV and payback
8️⃣ Use scenario and sensitivity tables to test project risks
