UV-Based PFAS Reductive Defluorination (PRD)¶
Disinfection & Chlorination • Est. CapEx: Low-cost / Locally fabricated
Technical Overview¶
A destructive treatment technology by Enspired Solutions that permanently eliminates PFAS 'forever chemicals' rather than merely concentrating them. It is intended for industrial effluent and drinking water plants facing tightening PFAS regulations.
Key Specifications & Engineering Parameters¶
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Category | Disinfection & Chlorination |
| Capital Cost | Low-cost / Locally fabricated |
| Primary Mechanism | Ultraviolet light triggers a photocatalytic reductive defluorination (PRD) reaction that systematically dismantles PFAS molecules. The process cleaves strong carbon-fluorine bonds and converts PFAS into benign end-products: water, fluoride ions, and simple carbon compounds. |
| Target Scale | Household / Village Cluster |
| Standard Lifespan | 10 - 20 Years |
