Problem
Industrial wastewater often contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a class of persistent environmental pollutants. Traditional methods for removing PFAS from wastewater can be energy-intensive, costly, and generate hazardous waste requiring disposal. This creates a need for more sustainable and economical on-site PFAS remediation solutions.
Solution
Coflux Purification offers a compact, in-stream reactor that utilizes a catalytic absorbent and UV light to capture and destroy PFAS in industrial wastewater. This technology eliminates the need for off-site disposal of hazardous waste, reducing both costs and environmental liability. The reactor integrates directly into existing wastewater treatment systems, providing a scalable and economical solution for on-site PFAS destruction. The system's design optimizes proven water treatment technology to degrade PFAS from wastewater streams, leaving no contaminated waste for disposal.
Target Audience
The primary customers are industrial operators and manufacturers seeking to remove PFAS from their wastewater streams to comply with environmental regulations and reduce environmental impact.
