Texas/USA – Lummus Technology has recently announced the successful startup and operation of its per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (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.”

This technology helps industrial and municipal water and wastewater operators destroy PFAS compounds from their water supplies, which in turn, safeguards public health and the environment.

“With our commercial-scale demonstration unit, drinking water and wastewater operators can witness PFAS destruction firsthand,” said Leon de Bruyn, President and Chief Executive Officer, Lummus Technology. “Providing direct access helps operators evaluate how the technology fits their facility’s needs while showcasing the Lummus Water group’s scalable, cost-effective solutions for addressing the critical environmental challenges caused by PFAS.”

Housed at the Lummus Green Circle Labs in Laporte, Texas, the PFAS destruction demonstration unit does not just modify PFAS to pass analytical testing but destroys the carbon fluoride bonds during the treatment of the PFAS waste.

The unit is available for customer use to evaluate water samples and provides certified data for customers to review with regulators to improve their water supplies. In addition, the technology is available for sale to industrial and municipal water facilities that want to perform their own on-site PFAS compounds destruction.

The Lummus Water group’s integrated and comprehensive PFAS offering also includes in-house analytical services, which are capable of detecting PFAS down to parts per trillion levels. These analytical services help water and wastewater operators assess contamination levels and monitor progress of their treatment systems.
