PFAS Treatment Solutions

Trusted Expertise in PFAS Removal and Destruction

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large family of synthetic chemicals that number in the thousands. Highly resistant to heat, chemical reactions, and degradation, PFAS have been used for decades in everyday products and industrial applications.

First introduced in the 1950s as a non-stick and water-repellent coating, PFAS quickly found widespread use, ranging from firefighting foams, stain- and waterproof fabrics, food packaging and industrial applications.
Often referred to by the media as “forever chemicals,” PFAS do not simply disappear. While they can break down, the by-products formed are often equally or more toxic, creating an evolving challenge for environmental safety, regulatory compliance, and responsible waste treatment.

Additionally, legislation is rapidly tightening. Key substances such as PFOS and PFOA are already banned or heavily restricted in many regions, and global regulatory bodies are now evaluating broader PFAS classes due to growing contamination concerns.

Activated carbon is a proven and widely used solution for removing PFAS from water and industrial processes. However, once the carbon becomes saturated, PFAS-laden spent carbon is traditionally sent to landfill or hazardous incineration – simply shifting the contamination risk rather than eliminating it.

Puragen’s advanced circular treatment approach changes this. We deliver both the effective capture and the permanent destruction of PFAS. The reactivated carbon can be safely reused in ongoing treatment, significantly reducing waste and environmental impact.

This closed-loop solution supports regulatory compliance, strengthens environmental performance, and provides a truly sustainable pathway for PFAS mitigation.
