PFAS Removal & Destruction

Proven Technologies & Effective Treatment Strategies for Long-Term Success

Selecting an effective PFAS response requires matching the technology to the unique water matrix, flow requirements, and long-term operating goals of the facility. Purifics provides flexible platforms engineered for
PFAS removal and destruction.

PFAS Treatment Is Not One-Size-Fits-All

Every PFAS application presents a unique engineering challenge. Engineers must also consider water quality, residual management, operational complexity, and long-term lifecycle costs.

Some facilities need to remove PFAS from large volumes of municipal drinking water. Others require either the permanent destruction of concentrated PFAS streams or the treatment of complex industrial wastewater containing multiple contaminants.

Selecting the right technology requires evaluating far more than contaminant removal alone. Successful PFAS treatment should consider:

Source Water Quality

Water Recovery

PFAS Concentration

Residual Management

TOC/DOC

Operational Simplicity

Co-Contaminants

Long-Term Lifecycle Cost

PFAS Removal

+ CAC

When the objective is removing PFAS from large water volumes while simultaneously treating other contaminants, Cuf® with CAC provides a simplified, integrated treatment platform.

The process continuously captures PFAS onto Colloidal Activated Carbon (CAC) (rapid kinetics) before separating the PFAS-bearing carbon using 100% silicon carbide ceramic membranes. The result is purified water and a concentrated solid residual that simplifies downstream management.

PFAS Destruction

Photo-Cat ®

Some applications require permanent destruction rather than contaminant transfer.

Photo-Cat® destroys PFAS and other persistent contaminants such as 1-4 Dioxane directly within the treatment process using Purifics' patented photocatalytic oxidation platform. Rather than generating spent media or concentrated liquid waste, contaminants are destroyed on-site.

For more than 30 years, Photo-Cat® has been commercially applied for complex groundwater, industrial water, and remediation projects.

PFAS Complete Purification

+ Photo-Cat ®

Not every application should rely on removal alone, or destruction alone.

Where elevated TOC, DOC, or suspended solids limit direct oxidation performance, CUF® first removes background organics and matrix interferences before Photo-Cat® destroys PFAS and other persistent contaminants within the clarified stream.

The result is an optimized treatment train that combines the strengths of both technologies.
