Do we know if the incinerated breaks down the PFAS into something that will biodegrade?

According to my partner, the purpose of incineration is to break down sulfur bonds and render the chemicals inert.

This doesn't really make sense. Removing the sulfonate group would render the chemical non-polar, but the effect on biological activity is still unknown.

Aside from that, and to answer the question, proper incineration will completely destroy all fluorinated organics. The only fluorine left is HF, which will be removed by the scrubbers.

That's entirely possible. We're playing a game of telephone between a software developer and a civil/environmental engineer.
