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 proprietary pretreatment process which enables efficient treatment of some of the most challenging waste streams. By working in conjunction with existing PFAS separation technologies, such as ion exchange resins or foam fractionation, Aquatrino's system serves as the final destruction step in the treatment train to cost-effectively eliminate PFAS-related liability.
Furthermore, Aquatrino's solution boasts significant energy savings and cost-effectiveness compared to high-temperature incineration methods. Due to efficiency gains afforded by the pretreatment process and ambient destruction process, Aquatrino is able to offer complete PFAS destruction for less than current methods of PFAS disposal via incineration or landfill.
With a focus on industrial wastewater, landfill leachate, and AFFF fire-fighting foam, Aquatrino's PFAS destruction system offers a versatile and sustainable approach to addressing PFAS contamination challenges.
Key characteristics and environmental benefits
Key Characteristics
- UV and electrochemical oxidation (UV+EO) treatment train for complete PFAS destruction
- Proprietary pretreatment process to improve destruction efficacy of challenging streams by up to 20x
- Agnostic to the PFAS deparation or capture technology that is used upstream
- 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
- 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
- Provides an alternative to PFAS incineration, which generates 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
