Lummus Achieves Major Milestone In Destroying “Forever Chemicals”
Lummus Technology announced the successful startup and operation of its PFAS destruction demonstration unit. The at-scale, commercial-ready system uses a combination of advanced technology from Lummus and Element Six (E6) to destroy PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals.”
EPOC Enviro secures Australian patent for Foam Fractionation PFAS remediation technology
Australian company EPOC Enviro is pleased to announce the approval of its foam fractionation patent by IP Australia, securing exclusive rights for SAFF® technology Down Under through to December 2038.
Rice scientists pioneer method to tackle ‘forever chemicals’
A study led by James Tour, the T.T. and W.F. Chao Professor of Chemistry and professor of materials science and nanoengineering, and graduate student Phelecia Scotland unveils a method that not only eliminates PFAS from water systems but also transforms waste into high-value graphene, offering a cost-effective and sustainable approach to environmental remediation.
A new method to recycle fluoride from long-lived PFAS chemicals
A team of chemists at the University of Oxford and Colorado State University have shown it is possible to destroy a wide variety of these fluorine-containing PFAS chemicals while also recovering their fluorine content for reuse in industrial processes.
UChicago scientists are designing next-gen batteries without “forever chemicals”
In two recent papers, the team designed two new families of PFAS-free solvents that make ideal components for next-generation batteries. The goal is to get ahead of PFAS pollution, giving future researchers a safe but powerful suite of chemicals to explore when designing batteries, turning “forever chemicals” into “never chemicals.”
Plasmalex Launches PlasmaGuard® X: The New Generation Of 100-Percent PFAS-Free Conformal Barrier Coatings
After the successful introduction of the PlasmaGuard coatings in 2023, the launch of the new PlasmaGuard X ultra-thin barrier coating builds on the same strengths and unique properties of the PlasmaGuard product line, while offering even higher barrier and corrosion protection properties.
Carccu® Offers a PFAS-Free Alternative to Quilon®-Coated Pan Liners
Carccu® Professional Pan Liners provide a superior alternative to traditional Quilon®-coated products. Unlike Quilon®, which contains chromium and releases toxic substances when incinerated, Carccu®’s pan liners are coated with 100% food-safe silicone, making them a healthier and more environmentally responsible choice.
General Atomics Introduces PERSES Waste Destruction System
General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) today introduced PERSES™, the new name for the company’s commercial waste destruction system formerly known as the iSCWO (industrial Supercritical Water Oxidation) system. PERSES builds on GA-EMS’ decades of experience utilizing its proven iSCWO technology to effectively destroy PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl) and more than 200 hazardous and non-hazardous waste medias with 99.99% and greater efficiency.
