We Remove Forever Chemicals

Innovation in Remediation

CoreWater Technologies has developed a technology that adsorbs PFAS from water using a patented composite particle.

The technology enables simple chemical processing to remove and isolate the PFAS from the composite particle. The isolated PFAS can then be destroyed, allowing safe, low energy disposal.

This technology can be applied at both the municipal scale and by consumers, whether it be by water treatment facility or personal water pitcher.

Eliminates hazardous operations • Reduces costs

A complete solution to the forever chemical environmental crisis.

At CoreWater, we care about the environment and creating a safer world for generations to come. Our novel technology creates safe drinking water free of toxic forever chemicals while also reducing the impact on landfills and the air we breathe.

CoreWater uses industry-standard granular activated carbon in a new and innovative way to deliver cost-effective, PFAS-free drinking water without returning any PFAS to the environment.

What are PFAS?

Examples of PFAS
  • PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” have emerged as one of the major pollution issues of our time. Used for decades in countless everyday objects — cosmetics, takeout containers, waterproof clothing, and other products—PFAS are synthetic chemicals used to make many products water, oil, and stain resistant. They can enter the environment from manufacturing, landfills, or firefighting foam.

  • PFAS contaminate the water we drink and the food we eat. PFAS are called “forever chemicals” because they are very stable and persistent in the environment due to their high-strength carbon-fluorine bonds. They have been used for decades and have been proven to be toxic to humans, animals, and plants and have been linked to serious health risks, including cancer, liver damage, immune system disorders, and developmental issues.

How our Technology Works

Core+

CoreWater Technologies patented adsorbent particle

Core+ creates surface-modified granular activated carbon capable of removing PFAS from water with high efficiency.

Unlike traditional granular activated carbon, this material can be rinsed in place and reused for several cycles, dramatically improving water treatment bed longevity.


ARID Process

CoreWater Technologies’ process for remediation consists of 4 steps: absorption, removal, isolation, and destruction.

Through the ARID process, disposal costs for spent media are significantly reduced due to the on-site destruction of the PFAS captured by Core+.

Purified dinking water

ADSORPTION

Core+™ adsorbs PFOA and PFOS from water at the same level as GAC.

REMOVAL

PFAS are removed with a simple, reusable chemical wash (Corewash™).

ISOLATION

The PFAS can now be isolated from both the Core+™ and Corewash™.

DESTRUCTION

The PFAS can be destroyed and permanently removed from the environment.
