What are PFAS?
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of synthetic chemicals used for their water, heat, and stain-resistant properties.
These chemicals have been widely used in industries and consumer products since the 1940s, commonly found in non-stick cookware, waterproof fabrics, food packaging, and firefighting foams.
Due to their unique chemical structure, PFAS do not break down naturally in the environment, leading to their accumulation in water, soil, and even living organisms. This persistence has earned them the name “forever chemicals.” Over time, PFAS contamination has become a serious environmental issue, as these substances can spread through groundwater and drinking water supplies as well as food chain. Scientific studies have linked exposure to certain PFAS to adverse health effects of humans.

Our solution technology
Developed and patented in 2019 in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT, PerfluorAd’s active ingredient represents the leading technology in PFAS treatment, offering unmatched effectiveness and innovation.
PerfluorAd is introduced as a liquid agent into the contaminated water stream, allowing for high contact frequency and efficient binding with PFAS pollutants. This interaction results in the precipitation and removal of PFAS compounds, ensuring cleaner water.
The dosage of PerfluorAd can be adjusted in real-time to match the raw water conditions, ensuring the most efficient treatment and achieving the desired target levels with precision.
PerfluorAd’s precipitation of PFAS serves as the pre-cleaning stage, utilizing a filtration or settlement process to remove the PerfluorAd precipitated PFAS and ensure thorough water purification.
Finally, polishing or post-cleaning steps, such as using powder carbon (PAC), granular activated carbon (GAC) or ion exchange (IX) resins, are employed to ensure complete purification. These modular solutions are adaptable to varying water conditions for optimal results.
- Highest possible efficiency 99.5%
- Highest possible effectivity (>99.5%), even with high PFAS concentrations
- Outstanding cleaning results, especially with complex contaminated water containing various and unknown pollutants as well as high organic background contamination
- High-cost efficiency thanks to long activated carbon service life and smaller activated carbon filters
- Higher effectivity as ongoing adaption of the treatment process possible based on PFAS concentration, water inlet and background contamination
- Integration into existing treatment systems possible
- Negligible disposal costs because of only a minimal amount of residual waste
- 360° service – plan, build and operate

Overview
RemBind is an advanced powdered sorbent that effectively binds PFAS in soil, preventing harmful leaching into groundwater. Recognised as a global best practice, it provides a reliable solution for treating PFAS-contaminated soil. Independently validated by authorities, RemBind has been successfully utilised to treat PFAS-contaminated soil across North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
Treatment process
RemBind is easily mixed into soil using conventional earth-moving equipment at an addition rate of 1% to 3%, along with a small amount of water. The treatment process is completed within 24 hours, allowing the treated soil to be immediately reused on-site.
- Low cost alternative
- Quick and easy to apply
- Proven long-term stability (US EPA methods)
- Proven at full-scale globally
- Binds permanently to contaminants
Cornelsen Group is the exclusive partner for RemBind in the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Contact us today – our team is ready to assist you in achieving effective PFAS remediation.
Overview
SAFF by EPOC Enviro in Australia, is a PFAS remediation system that uses air to effectively remove most long-chain PFAS, while enhanced processes optimise the removal of short-chain PFAS. This low-energy, sustainable solution is conveniently packaged in a 40ft shipping container.
Cornelsen Group utilises SAFF as a primary PFAS treatment stage, followed by polishing with granulated activated carbon (GAC), powder carbon (PAC) or ion exchange (IX) resins. This process can be performed as a standalone solution or after our PerfluorAd technology, based on the water’s PFAS concentration and complexity. We provide full SAFF solutions, from plant sales and rentals to complete operation and maintenance services. Our skilled team has successfully delivered numerous SAFF projects and is here to help you.
Why choose us?
Experience unmatched effectiveness with over 99.5% PFAS removal, real-time treatment adjustments, and exceptional results – all supported by minimal maintenance and comprehensive 360° service.
Transform your PFAS treatment today and ensure a cleaner, safer future with our proven solution.
