The economics of PFAS treatment revolve around balancing upfront costs with long-term environmental and financial benefits. Our PFAS remediation approach integrates cutting-edge filtration, separation and concentration technologies which mitigate contamination, minimise waste, and keep operational costs manageable. The ability to deploy scalable solutions allows us to address both high- and low-volume projects without excessive capital expenditure. This flexibility is a key differentiator in reducing total project costs while ensuring compliance with increasingly strict global regulations. By integrating our proprietary technology into treatment processes, organisations can future-proof against liabilities and avoid costly environmental damages.

Cost comparisons for PFAS treatment solutions often centre on the intensity of contamination, volume of water being treated, the presence and concentration of co-contaminants, efficiency of the treatment option, specific site characteristics, and the long-term sustainability of the solution. Traditional methods like activated carbon, ion exchange systems or membrane filtration have been widely used, but they often require frequent media or filter replacement and disposal, driving up operational costs.

Our FluorofIX™ and RegenIX™ solutions are designed to be more efficient and cost-effective over the lifecycle of a water treatment or remediation project. Our technology focuses on maximising contaminant removal and maintaining the flexibility to adapt to PFAS contaminant attenuation. We do this while minimising costly media change outs and the associated waste volumes, operational downtime, and operational costs. This is particularly important for highly contaminated sites, where rapid media or filter change outs can significantly inflate costs.

Currently, we’re seeing significant demand growth in North America and Europe, driven by increasingly stringent regulatory requirements and public pressure to address PFAS contamination. Both regions host sectors that have contributed to PFAS pollution, including PFAS chemical producers, industrial processors, aviation, fire training, defence installations, and landfills. Historic releases and current discharges from these sources create an urgent need for effective treatment and remediation technologies.

We are also entering new markets in the Asia-Pacific region, where awareness of PFAS issues is rising and governments are starting to take action. Our modular approach to PFAS remediation allows us to adapt quickly to the needs of various international markets, especially those with urgent contamination issues. We’re also investing in research and development to ensure our current and future technologies remain at the leading edge, providing the best possible treatment and remediation outcomes at competitive costs, regardless of location.

Later this year, we will release an in-depth white paper exploring the next generation of PFAS treatment technologies, including a detailed lifecycle costs analysis of our proprietary, RegenIX™ solution. We expect this white paper to be a valuable resource for professionals determining the optimal treatment approach for their PFAS treatment and remediation needs.
