the challenge of destroying PFAS
OUR PROCESS ADDRESSES THE GAPS FOUND WITH EXISTING TECHNIQUES
PFAS are notoriously difficult to destroy because of their extremely strong carbon-fluorine bonds. Many existing treatment technologies either capture and concentrate PFAS rather than destroy them, or rely on energy-intensive processes such as high temperatures, plasma, sonolysis, or electrochemical treatment.
Our chemical-based destruction process is designed to break down PFAS using significantly less energy, reducing dependence on the extreme temperatures or high electrical energy requirements associated with many emerging destruction technologies. The goal is a practical destruction platform that can complement PFAS capture technologies while reducing the energy, infrastructure, and environmental burden associated with managing PFAS-contaminated waste streams.
