Problem
Traditional water treatment methods often struggle to efficiently remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and dyes, especially shorter-chain PFAS, leading to persistent contamination and potential health risks. Existing activated carbon systems can be slow and may not effectively capture the full spectrum of these contaminants.
Solution
AIMM has developed a tunable hierarchically porous carbon (HPC) material designed for rapid and efficient removal of PFAS and dyes from water. AIMM's HPCs are tailored to remove two to three times more PFAS from water than traditional activated carbon, capturing a broad range of PFAS, including the shorter chains that are typically difficult to remove. The material's unique structure enables contaminants to be captured in minutes, making it suitable for point-of-use filtration and integration into existing water treatment processes. AIMM's technology provides a simple yet effective solution for accessing clean drinking water and remediating industrial wastewater.
Target Audience
AIMM's primary customers include municipalities, industrial facilities, and residential users seeking effective and rapid removal of PFAS and dyes from water sources.
Features
- Tunable hierarchically porous carbon (HPC) material tailored for PFAS and dye removal
- Enhanced PFAS removal, capturing 2-3 times more than traditional activated carbon
- Effective against a broad range of PFAS, including traditionally hard-to-remove shorter chains
- Rapid contaminant removal, achieving results in minutes compared to hours or days with other sorbent technologies
- Adaptable to existing water treatment processes and engineering routes due to its common carbon powder form factor
