Water treatment specialist Kurita America has formed a partnership with with Cyclopure to use the latter’s Dexsorb technology for the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. It will build a collaborative PFAS regeneration facility in Michigan, where it will also design the filtration equipment.
Dexsorb is claimed to have a four to ten times higher capacity than other treatment methods, such as activated carbon and ion exchange, as well as a wide spectrum of removal, sensitivity to co-contaminants and lifecycle sustainability. It “offers an eco-friendly regeneration and concentration process that allows for cost-effective destruction, ensuring cradle-to-grave treatment with no recontamination risks and liability reduction,” Kurita said.
