The problem
PFAS contamination is among the most significant environmental liabilities of our time. Now, there is a permanent solution.
PFAS contamination is the defining environmental liability of our era. No one has solved it.

PFAS contamination is the defining environmental liability of our era. No one has solved it.
THE SCALE OF THE CRISIS
Billions of people are exposed to PFAS-contaminated water. Hundreds of thousands of sites are affected. Regulatory bodies worldwide, including the EPA, Health Canada, and the EU, are mandating action, without a widely deployed destruction pathway.
Filtration, containment, and ion exchange DO NOT destroy PFAS. They move it. They concentrate it. They defer liability.
Incineration is intended to destroy PFAS, but performance depends on operating conditions and project specifications.

OUR SOLUTION
Free Radical Gasification (FRG™) uses a controlled, high-temperature conversion zone that combines ultra-high heat, light, and free radicals to sever the carbon-fluorine bond at the molecular level, permanently destroying PFAS at the source.
What remains: hydrogen-rich gas and potassium fluoride (KF), a stable, commercially used compound.
No residual PFAS. No secondary waste stream.

STEP 01 - INPUT
Contaminated
liquid waste
PFAS-contaminated water, concentrated leachate, AFFF firefighting foam, and industrial liquid waste. The FRG™ system is engineered to process complex, multi-compound 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, usable
byproducts
Hydrogen-rich gas and potassium fluoride (KF), a stable inorganic fluoride salt with established industrial applications, are produced within the reaction zone as stable final outputs of 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."
