Anthera Remediation Technologies
Anthera Remediation Technologies (A.R.T.) provides an integrated platform for destroying PFAS contaminants across soil, water, leachate, and industrial matrices. The three-stage system combines a proprietary surfactant, photocatalytic oxidation, and developing bioremediation to achieve 90%+ PFAS mineralisation at up to 75% lower cost than conventional methods, operating under neutral conditions for energy-efficient field deployment.

Problem
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are persistent environmental contaminants with strong carbon-fluorine bonds that resist conventional treatment methods. Their widespread presence across soil, groundwater, surface water, leachate, and complex industrial waste streams creates long-term exposure risks and environmental liability that require specialized remediation approaches.
Solution
Anthera Remediation Technologies (A.R.T.) combines soil washing, advanced photocatalytic oxidation, and developing bioremediation technologies into a single integrated platform for PFAS destruction. The three-stage process—Recover, Destroy, Complete—first mobilizes PFAS from contaminated soils using a proprietary surfactant, then breaks down the compounds in water and liquid matrices via photocatalytic oxidation, with targeted bioremediation in development for residual and short-chain compounds. The modular system operates under neutral conditions, making it energy-efficient and designed for practical field deployment rather than research-only applications.
Target Audience
Primary customers include environmental consultants, remediation contractors, industrial site operators, and government agencies managing PFAS-contaminated sites such as airports, fire training facilities, landfills, mining operations, and utilities.
Features
- PFAS-SOL surfactant that mobilizes contaminants from soil into a concentrated, treatable stream
- Photocatalytic oxidation process that destroys PFAS in water, leachate, and other liquid matrices without extreme heat or pressure
- Targeted bioremediation technology in development for residual and short-chain PFAS compounds
- Modular, site-ready system designed for scalable deployment across multiple matrices including soil, water, leachate, and industrial process streams
- Low-energy design operating at neutral conditions, reducing reliance on energy-intensive methods and avoiding secondary waste streams
- Achieves 90%+ PFAS mineralisation and up to 75% cost reduction compared to conventional treatment approaches
