Product description

Aquatrino's PFAS destruction system is a cutting-edge solution designed to tackle the pressing issue of PFAS contamination in various streams. The system utilizes a proprietary UV and electrochemical oxidation treatment train to break down and permanently destroy PFAS molecules, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional methods.

What sets this system apart is its modular design, allowing for easy configuration and scalability to meet different application needs. By working in conjunction with existing PFAS separation technologies, such as ion exchange resins and granular activated carbon, Aquatrino's system serves as the final destruction step in the treatment chain, enhancing overall efficiency.

Furthermore, Aquatrino's solution boasts significant energy savings and cost-effectiveness compared to high-temperature incineration methods. Operating as a closed loop system, it promotes the reuse of materials and minimizes waste generation during the destruction process.

With a focus on municipal drinking water supplies, industrial wastewater, landfill leachate, and more, Aquatrino's PFAS destruction system offers a versatile and sustainable approach to addressing PFAS contamination challenges.

Key characteristics and environmental benefits

Key Characteristics

  • Proprietary UV and electrochemical oxidation (UV/EO) treatment train for PFAS destruction
  • Modular system — configurable for water supply, soil, industrial wastewater, landfill leachate, and PFAS-contaminated sorbents
  • Designed to permanently destroy PFAS molecules rather than transfer contamination to another medium
  • Functions as a final destruction step compatible with existing PFAS separation infrastructure
  • Closed-loop system leveraging reusable materials
  • Claims significantly lower energy consumption and cost than incineration-based alternatives
  • Patent-pending technology developed by a team of PFAS, water treatment, and membrane specialists

Environmental Benefits

  • Permanently destroys PFAS at the molecular level — does not redistribute contamination to landfill or atmosphere
  • Addresses contamination across all major PFAS sources: drinking water, soil, industrial effluent, and landfill leachate
  • Provides an alternative to PFAS incineration, which generates its own emissions and toxic byproducts
  • Supports compliance with tightening global PFAS drinking water regulations
  • Protects human health by removing carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting chemicals from the water cycle
  • Reduces the environmental footprint of PFAS remediation through closed-loop, low-energy operation
