THE CHALLENGE
The challenge for industrial dischargers
01
Pretreatment standards apply before you discharge
Facilities that send wastewater to a POTW operate under industrial pretreatment permits — PFAS discharge limits are increasingly part of that picture.
02
Every process stream is different
Surface finishing, semiconductor manufacturing, and food & beverage production each generate PFAS-contaminated water with different volumes and compositions.
03
Captured media becomes hazardous waste
GAC and ion exchange resin capture PFAS but don’t destroy it — spent media has to be hauled, tracked, and disposed of as a PFAS-laden waste stream.
04
Downtime isn’t an option
Treatment has to integrate into an active production line without disrupting the process it’s meant to protect.
THE RECOMMENDED SOLUTION
Concentrate onsite, destroy onsite, discharge clean
WHY THIS APPROACH
Built to fit inside an active production line
Minimal footprint, minimal disruption
Deploys in a container or fixed installation alongside existing process equipment — no line shutdown required.
Handles variable streams
Configurable to the specific PFAS profile of your process water, whether that’s surface finishing rinse water or wash-down wastewater.
No hazardous waste stream to track
Destroys PFAS onsite instead of generating spent media that has to be manifested and hauled as hazardous waste.
Supports pretreatment compliance
Gives facilities a documented, defensible answer for pretreatment program reporting.
REGULATORY CONTEXT
Industrial users discharging to a POTW operate under EPA’s National Pretreatment Program — and PFAS-specific limits are an increasing focus as EPA develops sector-specific effluent guidelines.
PROVEN PERFORMANCE
The same system, proven at scale
Our published case study is from a municipal deployment — Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission achieved 93% total PFAS removal with the closed-loop Olift® + Obreak® system. The same technology applies directly to industrial process water.
