Is 4never™ available for a specific market?
Yes, 4never™ is available to the private landfill and industrial waste management markets in the United States. Many landfill operators are looking for a cost-effective and compliant approach to managing their PFAS-contaminated leachate. Using this end-to-end solution, landfill operators can ensure the PFAS in their leachate is destroyed prior to discharge to the local municipal wastewater treatment system. Contact us to see if your site is a good fit for 4never™.
If there is interest in SAFF® as a solution for another market, please contact Allonnia, the exclusive North American distributor for EPOC Enviro’s SAFF®.
How does the 4never™ solution work?
4never™ integrates PFAS treatment technologies and services offered by its partner companies. Combined, they result in a local, scalable, closed-loop solution to remove and permanently destroy PFAS. It begins with a SAFF® unit provided and serviced by Crystal Clean. The SAFF® unit will separate the target PFAS contaminants from the leachate or wastewater and generate a hyper-concentrated PFAS waste stream. Crystal Clean destroys the PFAS hyper-concentrate using supercritical water oxidation, resulting in non-toxic byproducts of water, carbon dioxide, and salts. Crystal Clean is responsible for mobilizing and operating the SAFF® technology on-site, then transporting the PFAS hyper-concentrate to centralized facilities for destruction.
