Filtration Solutions with Activated Carbon and Ion Exchange

Filtration solutions with activated carbon and ion exchange are well-established and proven methods for treating PFAS-contaminated water. These technologies are particularly effective in removing both short- and long-chain PFAS compounds from various water sources, depending on their composition and contamination levels.

Envytech provides efficient and modern filtration systems for the removal of all contaminants, including PFAS. We offer both standalone filter columns in various sizes and complete filtration systems in integrated units, designed to handle different water flow rates and contamination levels.

How Filtration Works

 1. Pre-Treatment: For more complex water sources, such as surface water or leachate, pre-treatment methods like coagulation, flocculation, or lamella separation may be necessary to remove particles and enhance the efficiency and lifespan of the filters.
 2. Activated Carbon: Works through adsorption, where PFAS molecules bind to the carbon surface. This technique is particularly effective for long-chain PFAS compounds.
 3. Ion Exchange: Utilizes specially designed resins to replace PFAS ions in the water. Ion exchange is particularly effective for short-chain PFAS, which are more challenging to remove with traditional filters.
 

Advantages of Filtration Solutions

Flexibility: Can be adapted and modularly adjusted to accommodate different water flow rates and PFAS compositions.

Reliable Solution: A well-proven method that can be combined with other technologies when needed to maximize efficiency.

Scalability: Suitable for both small and large projects and can be implemented as permanent installations or mobile, temporary systems.

Filtration solutions are a proven technology suitable for groundwater, process water, and other relatively stable water sources with consistent contamination levels.
