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 in combination with 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 increase the overall efficiency of PFAS removal to up to 99.9% - the highest possible effectiveness depending on the 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 lies above all in the fact that even highly contaminated and cross-contaminated water can be treated reliably - i.e. water that is both heavily organically contaminated and highly contaminated with 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 highly and cross-contaminated water, i.e. water that is both highly organically contaminated and highly contaminated with 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

Proven in practice with scientific expertise

As part of the Perfluor.Dat research project, the company worked with Fraunhofer UMSICHT 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.
