PerfluorAd+™: The next level of PFAS decontamination
PerfluorAd+™ is an innovative addition to our proven PFAS technology. As a complementary active component to the established PerfluorAd®, it focusses on the short-chain PFAS that are particularly difficult to separate and achieves impressive results.
A two-stage solution
The liquid active ingredient PerfluorAd® from the Cornelsen Group is continuously added to the PFAS-contaminated water.
PFAS are among the most persistent environmental contaminants of all. Although PerfluorAd® already enables highly efficient removal of long-chain PFAS, treatment of short-chain PFAS has long posed a technical challenge. We have closed this gap with PerfluorAd+™. The new active component was specially developed to convert water-soluble short-chain PFAS into filterable flocs without the use of problematic chemicals and without additional plant technology.
PerfluorAd+™: Supplement instead of replace
PerfluorAd+™ is not a substitute, but a targeted supplement to PerfluorAd®. In combination, both active ingredients reduce the PFAS concentration to below the detection limit, depending on matrix and load. Parallel dosing of both components is also possible.
Application: as a second step after PerfluorAd® or in combination
The particular strength of the PerfluorAd®/PerfluorAd+™ process is that even heavily contaminated water with a complex mix of contaminants can be treated reliably, i.e. water that is both high in organic matter and high in salt.
With PerfluorAd+™, the technology has been further developed specifically for the removal of short-chain PFAS compounds. In combination, PerfluorAd® and PerfluorAd+™ significantly increase the overall efficiency of PFAS removal.
Why PerfluorAd+™?
Good water compatibility (WGK1), safe to use
Based on a compound class of natural origin
PFAS can be reliably removed from heavily contaminated water with a complex mix of contaminants, i.e. water that is both high in organic matter and high in salt
PerfluorAd+™ was specially developed for the removal of short-chain PFAS compounds
Seamless integration into existing systems without additional investment
Minimises residual waste volumes and disposal costs

PerfluorAd+™
Groundbreaking addition for PFAS treatment
Proven in practice with scientific expertise
In the Perfluor.Dat research project, we and Fraunhofer UMSICHT investigated the effectiveness of PerfluorAd+™. The results show:
A significant reduction of >95% was achieved for short-chain PFAS such as PFBS - depending on matrix and load.
