Problem
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as "forever chemicals," contaminate water systems due to their widespread use in industrial and consumer products and their resistance to degradation. Traditional methods of removing these contaminants can be expensive, energy-intensive, and may produce a toxic waste stream requiring disposal.
Solution
Invicta Water offers a three-stage process for eliminating PFAS from municipal, industrial, and private water systems. The system uses improved foam fractionation to strip PFAS from a continuous flow of water, then enriches the PFAS in a reduced volume. Finally, photocatalysis, utilizing proprietary materials and UV light, destroys the PFAS in situ, eliminating the need for offsite disposal. This approach minimizes energy use, reduces annual maintenance, and simplifies implementation, resulting in lower capital and operating costs.
Target Audience
The primary customers are municipal water treatment facilities, industrial plants, and private water systems operators seeking a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for PFAS remediation.
