Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. (MEG) has secured a new PFAS treatment contract with the Kent County Department of Public Works, partnering with local contractor Taplin Group and TRC Companies to deploy its proprietary FOAM‑X™ foam fractionation technology. The agreement will install three foam fractionation systems across Kent County’s landfill sites, treating more than 31 million gallons of leachate each year and reducing PFOS, PFOA, and PFBS concentrations to non‑detect levels in compliance with state and local regulations.
Construction of the three systems is slated to begin in 2026, with full operation expected later that year. The project’s scale and the use of FOAM‑X™—a technology that separates PFAS from water through a specialized foam medium—position Montrose as a leader in landfill leachate remediation and underscore the county’s commitment to addressing its high‑volume PFAS contamination.
The contract aligns with Montrose’s strategy to grow its PFAS business through large, high‑impact projects. In Q3 2025, the company reported revenue of $224.9 million, up 25.9% year‑over‑year, and net income that improved markedly. The new Kent County agreement adds a significant revenue opportunity, complementing other recent wins such as a $249 million, five‑year U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contract and a $1.5 billion U.S. Air Force MATOC contract, all of which reinforce Montrose’s expanding footprint in federal and municipal environmental remediation.
Kyle Lapic, Montrose’s Solid Waste Market Sector Lead, said the project “sets a new standard for how communities can take action on PFAS today, not years from now.” He added that the partnership demonstrates Montrose’s ability to deliver integrated, end‑to‑end solutions—combining advisory, testing, and treatment services—to tackle complex environmental challenges.
Kent County’s PFAS program is part of a broader regulatory push to reduce PFAS exposure in Michigan. The county has identified numerous contaminated sites, and the new treatment systems will help it meet increasingly stringent state and local limits. Montrose’s FOAM‑X™ technology, which has proven effective in other landfill leachate projects, is expected to provide a scalable, cost‑effective solution that can be replicated in other jurisdictions facing similar contamination.
Overall, the contract represents a milestone for Montrose, expanding its presence in the Midwest and reinforcing its position as a preferred provider of PFAS remediation technology. The project’s scale, the company’s proven technology, and the growing regulatory demand for PFAS solutions all point to a positive trajectory for Montrose’s PFAS business segment.
