The All-In-One Technology Permanently
Eliminates PFAS in Municipal and Industrial Water
Gradiant, a global solutions provider for advanced water and
wastewater treatment, today announced the launch of ForeverGoneTM,
the industry’s only complete all-in-one solution to permanently
remove and destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The
current best available technologies for PFAS treatment merely
concentrate or transfer wastes from one medium to another,
necessitating further handling and transportation for ultimate
disposal by landfilling or incineration.

Gradiant’s ForeverGone pairs two proven technologies, Micro-Foam
Fractionation™ and Destruction Engine™, to produce water that meets
or exceeds the recently announced latest US EPA drinking water
standards for PFAS. Micro-Foam Fractionation separates PFAS into a
highly concentrated micro-foam optimized for removal. The
Destruction Engine uses electro-oxidation to permanently eliminate
the full range of PFAS chemicals from the micro-foamate. The
integrated solution achieves comprehensive PFAS removal at the
lowest total cost, setting new standards for simplicity,
efficiency, and sustainability.
- Micro-Foam Fractionation: Injects billions of
microbubbles into contaminated water to separate and concentrate
PFAS into a micro-foamate optimized for immediate destruction –
without generating waste or using harsh chemicals.
- Destruction Engine: Permanently destroys the
concentrated foamate by electro-oxidation using proprietary
electrodes. PFAS is completely transformed into harmless byproducts
- avoiding the current best practices of waste handling and
transportation for ultimate disposal by landfilling or
incineration.
ForeverGone's modular design scales easily and adapts to a
robust range of feed and product water conditions. The all-in-one
PFAS removal and destruction solution is available as standalone
containers that can be promptly shipped, installed, and
commissioned at customer sites.
"ForeverGone is different from anything in the marketplace - it
completely solves the challenge of PFAS contamination. Our
integrated technologies remove and destroy PFAS from drinking water
and wastewater in one unit, whereas existing options merely
displace the problem from one medium to another," said Prakash
Govindan, COO of Gradiant. "ForeverGone is precisely the disruptive
innovation the industry has been calling for. We are delighted that
Gradiant is enabling municipalities and industrial users worldwide
to eliminate PFAS from nature, for good."
"Gradiant excels when we identify societal problems, such as
PFAS, and apply our innovation and commercialization know-how to
address these most important issues,” said Steven Lam, Head of
Technology of Gradiant. "We have leveraged our deep knowledge of
electrochemistry and material science in advanced oxidation
processes for the removal of organics, to now solve PFAS.
Destruction Engine’s electro-oxidation process uses unique
electrodes to deliver an overpotential that exceeds everything else
in the industry.”
Gradiant is now working with customer partners to deploy
ForeverGone to their sites, offering a unique opportunity to
eliminate PFAS efficiently and sustainably. Forever.
