Unlocking a PFAS-Free Future: Treating Various Sources with Electrochemical Innovation.
PFAS have pervaded our daily lives through their widespread use in industrial and consumer products. In Europe, there are over 230 industrial sites that use PFAS to manufacture “high-performance” plastics, paints and varnishes, pesticides, waterproof textiles, other chemicals, etc. Applications range from non-stick cookware, cosmetics, fast food packaging and waterproof clothing to firefighting foams. However, the carcinogenic and toxic nature of PFAS, coupled with their resistance to natural breakdown, poses a significant environmental and health concern.
GRAPHEC is at the forefront of tackling this challenge with innovative electrochemical technology designed to degrade PFAS effectively. Let’s explore the diverse sources of PFAS contamination that our groundbreaking solutions can address:
Industrial runoff
Semiconductor, automotive, textile, paper and many more, our versatile and modular treatment systems are perfectly equipped to help any industry with their PFAS challenge.
Many industrial processes involve the use of PFAS, leading to contaminated wastewater. Our electrochemical technology provides a robust solution to treat industrial runoff, preventing the release of PFAS into natural water systems.
Landfills and waste disposal sites
Even ultra complex water matrices can be dealt with easily.
Everyday items like non-stick cookware and waterproof clothing can introduce PFAS into the environment through washing and disposal. PFAS can also leach into the ground and contaminate groundwater around landfills and waste disposal sites. Our technology offers a viable solution for remediating PFAS-contaminated water in these areas, promoting long-term environmental health.
Waste water
Persistent trace contaminants in both municipal as industrial wastewater are no problem for GRAPHEC’s efficient electrochemical systems.
Safeguarding Water Quality: GRAPHEC’s Solution for PFAS Treatment in Municipal Wastewater
In the realm of municipal wastewater treatment, the challenge of persistent trace contaminants, including PFAS, requires innovative solutions. Enter GRAPHEC, a pioneer in efficient electrochemical systems tailored to combat these stubborn contaminants.
Our advanced technology transcends the boundaries between municipal and industrial wastewater, ensuring that persistent trace contaminants are no match for GRAPHEC’s electrochemical prowess. Whether originating from industrial processes or municipal sources, our systems are designed to efficiently degrade PFAS, offering a comprehensive solution for water treatment.
At GRAPHEC, we take pride in providing municipalities with cutting-edge tools to safeguard water quality. Our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility shines through in every electrochemical system we deploy, ensuring that communities can trust in the effectiveness of our PFAS treatment technology.
Drinking water
Reduce PFAS to non-detectable levels, ensuring the safety of municipal drinking water for all.
In the quest for safe and pristine drinking water, GRAPHEC is leading the charge with cutting-edge PFAS treatment solutions. Our advanced electrochemical technology stands as a beacon of hope for communities seeking reliable PFAS removal from their drinking water. By employing graphene-based electrodes, we’ve crafted a solution that effectively degrades PFAS without generating toxic by-products.
Water of remediation sites (e.g. firefighting foams)
The use of PFAS-containing firefighting foams has been a major source of contamination at airports and military sites.
Our electrochemical treatment can efficiently address water sources affected by these firefighting foams, contributing to environmental remediation efforts.
