The problem

PFAS contamination is among the most significant environmental liabilities of our time. Now, there is a permanent solution.

PFAS contamination is among the most significant environmental liabilities of our time. Now, there is a permanent solution.

THE SCALE OF THE CRISIS

PFAS contamination has been identified in water, soil, industrial waste, and firefighting-foam-impacted sites worldwide. Regulatory authorities in Canada, the United States, Europe, and other jurisdictions are increasingly addressing PFAS contamination and disposal.

Filtration, containment, and ion exchange do not destroy PFAS. They separate or concentrate PFAS, leaving the resulting material to be managed or destroyed.

Thermal destruction technologies can destroy PFAS, but performance and throughput can be highly dependent on PFAS concentration. Many technologies require dilution or other pretreatment for concentrated waste streams such as AFFF.

OUR SOLUTION

Free Radical Gasification (FRG™) uses a controlled, high-temperature conversion zone that combines ultra-high heat, light, and free radicals reactions to break carbon-fluorine bonds at the molecular level, destroying PFAS at the source.

The process converts PFAS-containing liquid waste into hydrogen-rich gas and stable inorganic fluoride salts.

Destruction rather than concentration.

STEP 01 - INPUT

Contaminated

liquid waste

PFAS-contaminated water, leachate, AFFF firefighting foam, and industrial liquid waste. The FRG™ system is engineered to process complex, multi-compound liquid waste streams.

Capacity: Up to 4,000 L/day (Gen 5) ·

Concentrated liquid waste

STEP 02 - MOLECULAR DESTRUCTION

>5,000°C

reaction zone

Ultra-high heat, broad-spectrum radiant energy, and reactive free radicals interact within a controlled conversion zone to drive rapid bond cleavage, severing the carbon-fluorine bond at the molecular level in seconds.

>5,000°C · <5 second process ·

Heat + Light + Radicals + Time

STEP 03 - OUTPUT

Stable

outputs

Hydrogen-rich gas and stable inorganic fluoride salts are produced through the molecular destruction process.

Our origin

"Looking back, I realized PFAS had been part of my career long before I knew it. I served in the Canadian Navy, where AFFF was used, and later worked at 3M, both closely associated with PFAS. That realization made advancing FRG™ for PFAS destruction my priority."
