HOW IT WORKS
Inside the reactor
01
Continuous current, non-sacrificial electrodes
Process water flows through the Obreak® reactor, where a continuous electrical current passes through non-sacrificial electrodes submerged in the stream.
02
Direct and indirect oxidation
Electron transfer at the anode surface, combined with in-situ generation of oxidants, drives the stepwise breakdown of the carbon-fluorine bond PFAS is built on.
03
Mineralization, not relocation
The C-F bond breaks down into carbon dioxide and fluoride ions — both harmless at low concentration — eliminating transportation and long-term disposal liability.
04
Configurable to your site
Anode selection and system sizing adapt to technical, regulatory, and financial requirements — as a standalone step or inside a full integrated treatment train.
THE MECHANISM
Direct and indirect oxidation, stepwise
WHY OBREAK™
Built for operators, not just chemists
Ambient conditions
Operates safely at ambient temperature and pressure — no exotic infrastructure required.
Fully automated
Energy efficient and easy to maintain, with remote operation for lean staffing models.
Lower long-term liability
Onsite destruction eliminates the transportation and disposal risk that comes with adsorption-only methods.
Extends media life
Reduces PFAS load reaching downstream GAC or resin polishing, extending replacement intervals.
WHERE IT WORKS
High-destruction efficiency across water treatment applications

CASE STUDY
Onsite PFAS destruction for landfill leachate at PVSC
Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission — the largest wastewater facility in New Jersey — piloted E2METRIX’s closed-loop Olift® + Obreak® system on trucked-in landfill leachate ahead of anticipated NJPDES PFAS limits, eliminating the need for offsite disposal.
