General Atomics Introduces PERSES Waste Destruction System
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2025 / General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) today introduced PERSES™, the new name for the company's commercial waste destruction system formerly known as the iSCWO (industrial Supercritical Water Oxidation) system. PERSES builds on GA-EMS' decades of experience utilizing its proven iSCWO technology to effectively destroy PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl) and more than 200 hazardous and non-hazardous waste medias with 99.99% and greater efficiency.
"We are excited to introduce the PERSES brand name in recognition of our system's highly effective capability to efficiently and sustainably destroy PFAS and numerous hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams," stated Scott Forney, president of GA-EMS. "We specifically chose the name PERSES to exemplify the system's transformational technology and destructive force to destroy PFAS with no harmful side effects to the environment. In a single process, PERSES destroys PFAS and PFAS waste with co-contaminants leaving behind only water, salts, and carbon dioxide which can be safely released into the environment with no post-treatment requirement."
PERSES systems are scheduled for shipment to two sites this year for installation and industrial-scale destruction demonstrations of a variety of government and commercial-sourced PFAS and PFAS-impacted waste streams. GA-EMS was awarded contracts to conduct testing and on-site PFAS destruction demonstrations from the Department of Defense (DoD) Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) through the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and from Bay West LLC, which is funded by the U.S. Army Engineering Research and Development Center by the Army Corps of Engineers.
GA-EMS is actively engaged with waste and remediation companies, interested agencies and waste facilities across the federal, state and local levels to deliver PERSES to communities looking to end the cycle of PFAS contamination for good.
PERSES offers greater throughput capacity and a proven ability to process impacted PFAS waste medias, including concentrated PFAS Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF), diluted feed "ground water", biosolids, pure or concentrated leachate, and solid media including Granular Activated Carbon and resin beads from PFAS filters. Unlike many lab and prototype systems offered today, GA-EMS has had commercial systems in the field since 2012 and has successfully tested the system to destroy more than 200 waste streams.

Repairing Your Finances After Repaying a Rent Loan
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 11, 2025 / Paying off a rent loan can feel like a huge relief. You may have taken out the loan during a difficult time when you needed to make sure there was a roof over your head, and now that challenge is behind you. But once you're done making your rent loan payments, it's time to look at the bigger picture - repairing your finances. Rent loans might be helpful in a tough spot, but taking on any kind of debt could come with a high cost to your finances. If you feel unsure how to rebuild, there are steps you could take to get back on track, feel more in control and avoid needing another loan again soon. Review your financial habits First off, be clear about where you stand. Taking a close look at where you are financially might be the hardest step, but it's also the most important. Sit down and make a list of how much money you have on hand, any incoming payments or money owed to you, your monthly bills and any other money you owe. Even if it's messy, seeing it all written down can help. Monthly costs might include: Once you've faced the facts, take a deep breath. You're off to a great start. Next, think about how you might want to make changes, cut costs or allocate funds differently. Create a budget Creating a budget could be a helpful next step. A budget isn't meant to feel like a punishment - it's a way to track and organize your money for the weeks, months and years ahead. Here are a few simple budgeting options to try: It's okay to test a few budget systems before settling on one. What matters most is finding a method that helps you better manage your money. Check your credit If your rent loan showed up on your credit report, it could have affected your credit score. Your credit score is a number that tells lenders how good you are at handling money. A lower score could make it harder to get approved for credit cards, car loans or even a new apartment. To rebuild your credit score, start by checking your credit report. You should be able to get a free copy from Look for any errors or late payments that might be lowering your score. If something looks wrong, you can contact the credit bureau to work on correcting the error or finding a solution. Next, focus on building good credit habits: Over time, these steps can raise your score and help you qualify for better loan terms in the future. Rebuild your savings After using the rent loan to stay afloat, your savings might be low - or completely gone. You can rebuild slowly by setting small goals, like saving $5 to $10 a week. It doesn't have to be a lot at first because what matters most is building a savings habit. A simple way to do this is to set up automatic transfers from your checking account to your savings account every time you are paid. With auto-transfers, the money is moved before you see it, so you can treat it like any other bill - except this time, you're paying yourself. Keep moving forward Paying off a rent loan is a big win. Fixing your finances after paying off a rent loan takes time, but it's completely doable. You don't need to make big changes all at once. Instead, focus on taking small, steady steps forward. With a solid plan, smart habits and clear goals, you'll be in a better position to rebuild your finances and prepare for the future.
