The Benefits Of
Biological Remediation
Solving
A 90 Year
Crisis
Since their discovery in the 1930s, PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) have silently accumulated in our environment.
These "forever chemicals" – a family of more than 15,000 synthetic compounds – quickly found widespread use due to their unique properties.
From non-stick cookware and water-resistant clothing to firefighting foams and food packaging, PFAS were created to make life easier.
But their persistence has created one of the most significant environmental challenges of our time.
Thermal Destruction

An
Incomplete Burn
PFAS compounds resist breakdown by extreme heat because their strong carbon-fluorine bonds, among the strongest in chemistry, remain intact even during incineration, often fragmenting into smaller PFAS or other harmful substances that perpetuate contamination.
Breakdown Resistant
Burning materials like AFFF (aqueous film-forming foam) can release smaller PFAS products, or Products of Incomplete Combustion (PICs), into the air which can travel significant distances, contaminating air, soil, and water in nearby communities.
Environmental Impact
Initiatives are underway to classify certain PFAS chemicals as Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) under the Clean Air Act to close regulatory gaps and protect public health.
Regulatory Risks
Ion Exchange Resins
Ion exchange resins are more expensive than GAC, with higher initial purchase and maintenance costs, making large-scale implementation financially challenging.
A Costly Investment
Once saturated, resins must be replaced. Regenerating resins requires solvents and brine, which are difficult to manage and may not fully restore the resins, leading to additional waste.
Non-Regenerative
Disposal of PFAS-loaded resins must be managed carefully to prevent further environmental contamination. Improper disposal can lead to the release of PFAS into soil, water, and air, delaying the challenges of contamination instead of solving them.

Breakthrough Microencapsulation Technology
Microencapsulation is a cutting-edge technology that encases active ingredients in a protective coating or matrix, forming microscopic capsules ranging from 1 μm to several hundred micrometers.
This innovative process safeguards our proprietary bacterial enzyme formula, which is custom-tailored for each application.
The benefits of microencapsulation:
-
Protection
Shields sensitive compounds from degradation, preserving their potency.
-
Controlled Release
Enables precise delivery of active ingredients for maximum impact.
-
Enhanced Effectiveness
Boosts the efficiency and performance of additives.
-
Expanded Applications
Broadens the usability of ingredients across diverse conditions.
-
Cost Efficiency
Ensures optimal dosage, reducing waste and saving resources.
Granular Activated Carbon
Upkeep And Disposal
Activated Carbon systems require more space compared to technologies like ion exchange resins, increasing operational complexity. Spent GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) must be disposed of or reactivated, adding significant expense and complexity to the process.
Frequent Saturation
These systems can become saturated with PFAS and other contaminants, requiring frequent replacement, which is costly and logistically challenging—especially in systems with high organic matter.
Limited Effectiveness
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is less effective at removing shorter-chain PFAS compounds, like Perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS) and Perfluorobutyrate (PFBA), due to their lower affinity to the carbon surface.

A Larger Than
Granular
Footprint
Reverse
Osmosis
Regular Maintenance
To protect osmosis membranes from fouling caused by particles, organics, and hard substances, pre-treatment steps are often necessary. Post-treatments such as remineralization and pH correction are required to make the treated water suitable for consumption and to prevent pipeline corrosion.
Wasteful Extraction
These systems often consume 3-5 times more water than they treat, raising water conservation concerns in resource-limited areas, while also removing not only contaminants but essential minerals like magnesium, calcium, and iron, resulting in water that may be less suitable for drinking or cooking.
Problematic Disposal
Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems produce concentrated waste streams (referred to as concentrate or brine). Options such as surface discharge, sewer systems, deep well injection, or evaporation ponds all lead to further environmental contamination and regulatory challenges.

An Overflow Of Expenses

Explore PFAS Contamination Across the U.S.
We’ve included an interactive map from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) to highlight the widespread presence of PFAS contaminants in water supplies across the country.
Since 1993, EWG has worked tirelessly to expose outdated legislation, harmful agricultural practices, and industry loopholes that jeopardize public health and environmental safety.

PFAS Contamination Map
200 Million Americans Threatened By PFAS Contaminants
Tests have revealed PFAS contamination at more than 7,457 locations across the United States, including in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and two U.S. territories. These affected sites include drinking water supplies, military installations, and industrial facilities. As a result, the drinking water of as many as 200 million Americans may be impacted by PFAS chemicals.
