PFAS Extraction Technology for Diverse Applications

Our advanced PFAS treatment plants are engineered to remove over 99% of PFAS from contaminated water, soil, and biosolids. Designed for flexibility and efficiency, our systems are ideal for landfills, industrial sites, wastewater facilities, and remediation projects—ensuring compliance and environmental protection across a range of applications.

Leachate & Groundwater

Landfill leachate and groundwater are frequent carriers of PFAS contamination, posing risks to surrounding waterways if left untreated. Industrial discharges, firefighting foams, and consumer products contribute to this persistent problem. We have the solution and can provide engineered PFAS treatment systems that remove contaminants directly from leachate and groundwater, helping landfills and utilities meet compliance while protecting vital water resources.

Biosolids

The processing of waste into biosolids is a critical step in resource recovery and land application. However, biosolids often retain PFAS compounds that re-enter soils and crops if not properly treated. Our PFAS extraction technology enables councils, wastewater treatment plants, and industrial operators to manage biosolids safely, reducing long-term liability and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

Sewer Sludges

Wastewater treatment plants produce sewer sludges that frequently contain PFAS from domestic, commercial, and industrial sources. Without targeted removal, these contaminants can bypass traditional processes and return to the environment. Our PFAS treatment solutions are designed for wastewater facilities, providing reliable, scalable systems that remove PFAS from sludges and ensure cleaner, compliant discharge.

Contaminated Soil

Many industrial and construction sites are affected by PFAS-contaminated soils due to historic chemical use, spills, or firefighting foams. If unmanaged, PFAS can migrate into groundwater or spread during redevelopment. Our soil remediation solutions deliver on-site PFAS removal, giving developers, councils, and industry the confidence to progress projects while meeting environmental standards.

Industry Applications

Wastewater Treatment Plants

Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants are on the frontline of managing PFAS contamination, often receiving influent from multiple sources. Traditional treatment methods pass PFAS downstream rather than removing it.

Our high-throughput extraction systems can be deployed within existing WWTP operations to capture and concentrate PFAS, preventing its release into the environment. With scalability up to 20,000 L/hr, our systems ensure plants can keep pace with tightening regulations while demonstrating leadership in public health protection.

Waste Management: Liquids & Landfills

Leachate is one of the most significant pathways for PFAS migration from landfills into soil and groundwater. With regulators introducing strict discharge thresholds, operators need solutions that are both effective and cost-efficient.

Our technology reduces contaminated liquid waste volumes dramatically, with extraction of 0.5-1kg of concentrate per 1 megalitre of PFAS contaminated water, soil or biosolids.

Already operational at an EPA-approved site, offering landfill operators a proven, compliant, and scalable solution to future-proof operations.

Airports

Decades of firefighting foam use have left many airports with widespread PFAS contamination in soils, surface water, and groundwater. As regulators tighten discharge limits, the aviation sector faces mounting compliance and remediation challenges.

Our PFAS extraction technology provides airports with a practical pathway forward, treating runoff, leachate, and impacted soils on or near site. Mobile plants offer rapid deployment during remediation works, while fixed systems provide ongoing compliance assurance for stormwater and firefighting training areas.

Military & Defence

Defence sites are some of the most impacted by legacy PFAS contamination from firefighting foams and training activities. With large-scale groundwater plumes and complex environmental conditions, the challenge requires technology that is robust, scalable, and regulator-trusted.

Our extraction systems, proven in commercial operation, deliver high-volume treatment while minimising waste. By integrating with defence environmental management programs, we can help safeguard personnel, neighbouring communities, and critical defence land assets.

Civil Infrastructure

Large-scale infrastructure projects such as road building, tunnelling, and redevelopment of contaminated land often encounter PFAS in soils, groundwater, or construction water. Without effective treatment, these projects risk costly delays and compliance hurdles.

Our modular PFAS systems can be mobilised directly to site, providing efficient, regulatory-trusted PFAS removal from excavation water, drilling fluids, and impacted soils. For civil contractors and consultancies, this means projects stay on schedule, compliant, and environmentally responsible.

Chemical & Manufacturing

From chemical production to industrial manufacturing, PFAS compounds are increasingly under scrutiny in process water, waste streams, and contaminated sites. Manufacturers face dual pressures: ensuring compliance while protecting their licence to operate.

Our PFAS extractions system enables onsite treatment at scale, removing PFAS from liquid and biosolid waste without creating additional waste streams like activated carbon. For manufacturers, this means streamlined compliance, reduced offsite disposal costs, and stronger ESG outcomes.

Textiles & Apparel

PFAS are widely used in textiles for water and stain resistance. As global supply chains phase out PFAS, wastewater from textile production remains a critical source of contamination. Regulators and brands are demanding cleaner processes.

Our extraction technology enables textile and apparel manufacturers to capture PFAS before effluent discharge, protecting waterways, maintaining compliance, and supporting commitments to sustainable production. This not only reduces environmental impact but also enhances brand reputation in global markets.

Understanding the Pathways of PFAS Contamination

In recent years, the pervasive presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in our environment has raised significant concerns about its impact on human health. Understanding how these chemicals enter the body is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies. Let’s delve into the pathways through which PFAS contamination occurs:

Drinking Water: One of the most common routes of PFAS exposure is through contaminated drinking water. PFAS compounds can infiltrate water sources from industrial discharges, firefighting foam, landfills, and wastewater treatment plants. Once in water supplies, PFAS can accumulate in drinking water systems, exposing individuals to potential health risks upon consumption.

Food Contamination: PFAS can also enter the body through the consumption of contaminated food. These substances have been found in various food items, including seafood, dairy products, and crops irrigated with contaminated water. PFAS can bioaccumulate in animals and plants, leading to higher concentrations in the food chain and posing a risk to human health when consumed.

Airborne Exposure: Inhalation of airborne particles containing PFAS is another pathway of exposure. Industrial processes, such as manufacturing and incineration, can release PFAS into the air, where they can be inhaled or settle onto soil and water bodies. Individuals living near contaminated sites or industrial facilities may be at higher risk of airborne exposure to PFAS.

Consumer Products: PFAS are commonly used in consumer products for their water and oil-resistant properties. Items such as non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, and food packaging can leach PFAS into the environment, leading to potential exposure through skin contact, ingestion, or inhalation of fumes.

Occupational Exposure: Workers in industries involved in the production or use of PFAS-containing products may face occupational exposure. This includes firefighters, manufacturers, and workers in industries using PFAS-based chemicals in manufacturing processes. Direct contact with PFAS or inhalation of contaminated air in workplace environments can pose significant health risks.
