Our patented PFAS treatment technology, known as the LEEF System® (Low Energy Evaporative Fractionation), can treat PFAS from complex wastewater sources down to the limits of detection, with minimal waste and low energy consumption. We are global first in treating leachate at full-scale. We can remove PFAS from complex wastewaters, without the need for pre-treatment, such as:
- Landfill leachate
- Municipal sewage
- Contaminated groundwater
- Industrial wastewater
PFAS is a complex and global problem. Historical use of PFAS has seen increased levels at airports, Defence sites, firefighting training sites, industrial sites, effluent outfalls, and landfill sites
The Water & Carbon Group team have invested into research and development of a cost-effective solution to remove PFAS. Our patented technology is customisable, has low operating costs, and is often the only technology capable of cost- effective removal, particularly when compared to traditional removal methods, such as adsorption.
PFAS is the common term used for both per-fluoroalkyl and poly-fluoroalkyl compounds – thousands of manufactured chemicals that have been in production since the 1950s for use in items for waterproofing and stain-resistant coatings, cosmetics, and fire-fighting foams. PFAS compounds do not easily break down, and it is these properties that make it not only useful but also potentially dangerous to humans and the environment.
