PFAS Treatment Systems
Custom systems for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances. 35+ years of vessel experience, with a project history across military, EPA, and municipal work. Built under ASME and UL certifications.
Understanding PFAS
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) include thousands of chemical compounds manufactured for decades and used in everyday consumer products. The strong chemical bonds that make PFAS so useful are the same bonds that make them persistent in the environment.
That persistence increases long-term exposure and susceptibility to known adverse health effects. EPA's National Primary Drinking Water Regulations now establish Maximum Contaminant Levels for several PFAS compounds, and regulatory pressure continues to grow at the federal, state, and local level.
PRM builds PFAS treatment systems matched to the project, from emergency wellhead trailers to full municipal upgrades.
Markets We Serve
PFAS work across drinking water, groundwater, industrial process, and emergency response.
Municipal & Potable Water
EPA NPDWR Maximum Contaminant Level compliance for drinking water treatment plants and distribution systems protecting public health.
Groundwater Remediation
Site cleanup and aquifer restoration for contaminated wells, military installations, and industrial facilities with AFFF impact.
Industrial Process Water
Custom treatment for manufacturing facilities, landfill leachate, and industrial wastewater applications.
Emergency Response
Rapid deployment systems for natural disasters, contamination events, and urgent water treatment needs.
Treatment Technologies
Project-specific designs, not one-size-fits-all. We give unbiased media recommendations based on your contaminants and discharge limits.
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
Time-tested, economical treatment for PFAS compounds across drinking water, groundwater, and industrial applications.
Most widely deployed PFAS treatment technology, with thousands of installations.
Surface Modified Clay
High-kinetic media offering longer bed life and improved treatment efficacy versus traditional GAC.
Strong choice when extending media changeout intervals matters.
Ion Exchange Media
Specialized resins for enhanced removal of both long-chain and short-chain PFAS compounds.
Often paired with GAC in lead-lag configurations for difficult contaminant profiles.
Cyclo-PFAS Blended Media
A blended media option for complex waste streams. More efficient than GAC or IX alone for some profiles.
We work with media partners on emerging PFAS technologies.
Foam Fractionation
Specialized experience in foam fractionation, particularly in the landfill leachate sector.
Concentrates PFAS prior to destruction or polishing treatment.
Custom Prefiltration & Blends
Cartridge filtration, prefiltration packages, and custom media blends matched to your contaminant profile.
Designed around your site conditions and treatment objectives.
How We Deliver
