PFAS Removal

30,000+ Industrial & Military Sites have been identified as using Toxic PFAS.  

The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) claims that forever chemicals can be found in the blood of almost 97% of Americans.  As of January 2024, water utilities must filter out five of more than 12,000 types of signatures of forever chemicals. These synthetic chemicals have been used to help products repel water and oil for decades. Still, they also linger in the environment and now in the human body causing a variety of health problems including cancer, thyroid disease, reproductive problems, and heart damage.

RO desalting process requires a reliable and durable pretreatment filtration with maximal removal of suspended solids turbidity, algae, bacteria, dissolved organics, and TEP

Typically contaminated with heavy metals such as Fe and Mn which limits the use of conventional sand filters. In special cases contaminated with radioactive isotopes. Deep groundwater with temps above 50C limits the use of conventional polymeric filtration solutions

Contamination from sewage discharge leads to increased organic and heavy metal contaminations, suspended solids, turbidity, algae bacteria, and dissolved organics. In some cases, contaminated with arsenic

Water with high concentrations of oil and mining drainage contaminated with heavy metals and carcinogenic toxins

Conventional sewage treatment plants are very often unable to match regulations for direct environmental discharge. Focus on the reuse of treated sewage effluent as a new water source for either irrigation and landscaping or pre-treatment for RO uses

Limited capability for biological treatment requires additional process steps for direct discharge to the environment

- Iron/manganese/mercury and other heavy metals
- Iron/manganese/mercury and other heavy metals
- PFAS, PFOA, PFOS, AFF
- Taste, Odor, Color, PFAS, Radionuclides, TOC’s
- Suspended solids, metal oxides
- Organics COD
- Microbiological matters, bacteria
- Carcinogenic toxins, radioactive isotopes
- Hydrocarbons
- Trace contaminants, pharmaceutical toxins, DOM, VOC, microplastics

- Oily water (industrial, produced water, refineries)
- Hot water (NSF61 approved up to 60° C/140 oF) NSF 419
- Intermittent operation – Clean & Store DRY
- Challenging feed water: peak events, high turbidity or suspended solids, algae, etc.
- Ozone directly into the filtration tank

CERAFILTEC is a patented flat-plate ceramic membrane technology developed in Germany with substantial success throughout Europe and the Middle East.

CERAFILTEC ultrafiltration membranes can remove almost anything from water including heavy metals, copper & PFAS. Ultrafiltration (UF) is a type of membrane filtration in which hydrostatic pressure forces a liquid against a semipermeable membrane. The pores in the membrane are typically in the range of 0.05 to 0.1 micrometers in size for the Alumina plates. These are NSF419 approved. The Silicon carbides are .3 to .5 micrometers.

· Minimal footprint
· Easy to assemble.
· Each module can produce up to 24 GPM depending on its flux flow rate.
· Modules can be stacked in towers and arrays to achieve maximum flow rates in small areas.
· Packaged membrane systems in shipping containers or skids
· Portable, affordable, and ready to ship anywhere potable water is needed.

Industrial manufacturing facilities and military bases have used these chemicals for decades in multiple everyday products used or consumed by the public. Waste from these plants or bases is redirected to wastewater treatment plants and in some cases directly into the ground and ultimately into our drinking water supply. CERAFILTEC’s patented Active Cake Layer Filtration (ACFL) is uniquely qualified to remove PFAS from drinking water

COMPLETE removal of all suspended solids as an ultrafiltration.

SELECTIVE removal of dissolved organics and ions with the rejection results equivalent to nanofiltration or reverse osmosis performances using its proprietary Active Cake Layer Filtration (ACLF) process.

• The plant uses a treatment process involving carbon pressure which they run six times before dumping the effluent to their local Municipal Wastewater Treatment plant.
• The effluent is never in compliance, and the plant is fined regularly.
• Our process successfully removed 3,000 parts per billion of various pesticide compounds and turned the toxic slurry into potable water in one single pass.

• PAC dosing on demand
• PAC directly into the filtration tank
• No PAC dosing limits
• No extra GAC or other post-treatment required
• Ultra-filtration + ideal activated carbon treatment in one step.

• Treat any challenging water issues (high TSS/turbidity, oil, heat, algae bloom, peak events) without extended pre-treatment.
• Active Cake Layer Filtration guarantees the removal of additional dissolved compounds.
• Fastest cleaning option
• Higher recovery rate
• Less waste discharge
• No performance decay (no fiber breakages) guaranteeing consistent water quality
• Discontinuous operation option. The system can be started/stopped/dry-stored at any time.
