PFAS
PFAS Americas
Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used across industries in consumer products since the 1940s because of their resistance to heat, water, and oil. PFAS persistence in the environment and the human body has raised significant health concerns. As a result, regulatory agencies like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are working to establish guidelines and limits for PFAS to protect public health.
NORIT granular activated carbons effectively remove PFAS molecules such as PFOS, PFOA, and other perfluorinated compounds. Research has proven its ability to resist interference from Total Organic Carbon (TOC), with breakthrough curves showcasing our media’s adsorption effectiveness — up to four parts per trillion (ppt) per bed volume.
Our NSF certified acid washed and unwashed activated carbons feature high porosity and a large number of adsorption sites for PFAS with resiliency to background organics.
NORIT provides full life cycle support for activated carbon, disposing of and reactivating spent carbon with adequate destruction of PFAs (up to 99.9%) — ending customer liability.
We also offer technical support tailored to your unique application.
