PFAS Degradation (Non-Incineration, No Ozone/H₂O₂)
PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are representative environmental pollutants known
as “forever chemicals” due to their high stability and resistance to degradation. Even in small
quantities, they cause endocrine disruption, carcinogenicity, and infertility/sterility. They
are heavily regulated in the US, Europe, and Japan, with stricter industrial discharge
regulations anticipated.
Currently, PFAS lack treatment and degradation technologies. After filtration, they are all
incinerated. Demand for new degradation technologies is rapidly increasing due to carbon
emissions, air pollution, and high costs.
CAVITOX is an eco-friendly solution that differentiates itself from existing
advanced oxidation processes (AOP) by not using ozone or hydrogen peroxide. Instead, it employs
focused ultrasonic technology to break down the chains of toxic substances like PFAS, converting
them from organic compounds to inorganic compounds. This eliminates the need for incineration or
secondary treatment.
Completed degradation of over 11 different PFAS lengths in actual
wastewater to non-detectable levels.
