PFAS solutions. Selective. Modular.
From water analysis to correctly sized filtration. ECO ELEMENT combines instrAction technology, laboratory analysis and implementation support.
Persistent substances. A long-term water challenge.
PFAS refers to a large group of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Their resistance to water, grease and heat has led to their use in industrial processes, protective coatings and certain firefighting foams.
Many PFAS break down very slowly in the environment. They can reach groundwater and surface water from contaminated soil and various discharges. This is why they are often called “forever chemicals”.
Why dedicated filtration?
Conventional mechanical and biological treatment is not designed to reliably remove dissolved PFAS. The treatment technology must be selected for the specific compounds and water composition.
iA filter assemblies use selective media to bind target PFAS. Laboratory and pilot testing establish the appropriate configuration, replacement intervals and outlet monitoring plan.
Focused on what we want to remove.
instrAction media are based on a hydrogel platform with functional binding sites. The iA P series is developed to capture short- and long-chain PFAS.
Cartridge or column configurations adapt to flow and space requirements. Capacity is verified for the specific PFAS, water composition and required outlet concentration.
The complete process is part of the solution.
Adsorption transfers PFAS from water onto the medium. Subsequent handling is a separate, essential part of the project.
From sample to design
Laboratory analysis identifies the PFAS present and their concentrations, alongside checks of flow and water composition. Laboratory or pilot testing on actual water assesses filter performance and capacity, providing a basis for system sizing.
A solution for your water
Based on the results, we select suitable iA filter assemblies, pretreatment and the number of filtration stages. The system is tailored to required flow and outlet quality. Sampling monitors performance and informs timely filter replacements.
Destruction of spent filters
We arrange collection of spent filters containing captured PFAS and their destruction by high-temperature incineration at an authorised facility, under conditions suitable for PFAS destruction. This removes the captured PFAS from the water cycle.
