Chromafora's PFAS flocculation technology removes up to 95% of PFAS using a straightforward process built on familiar water treatment equipment. **Built for difficult water** Landfill leachate and industrial wastewater often contain PFAS alongside organic matter, suspended solids, metals and other contaminants – conditions that can make conventional PFAS filtration both difficult and costly. Flocculation offers a practical alternative: it binds PFAS into separable solids, and can be used either as the primary PFAS treatment method or as a pretreatment step ahead of a polishing technology such as SELPAXT, GAC or ion exchange. **How it works** Flocculation – Chromafora's PFAS flocculant and supporting treatment chemicals are added to the water, causing PFAS to bind into flocs. Flotation – the suspended solids are separated from the treated water. Dewatering – the PFAS-containing sludge is dewatered, reducing the volume requiring further handling. ## The flocculation process ![flocc-process2](https://chromafora.com/hs-fs/hubfs/flocc-process2.jpg?width=1200&height=521&name=flocc-process2.jpg) [CONTACT AN EXPERT](https://chromafora.com/contact-us) ## Why flocculation? ### Effective Removes up to 95% of PFAS, depending on water characteristics and operating conditions. ### Low complexity No specialized PFAS treatment equipment required. ### Reliable A straightforward process that is simple to operate and maintain. ### Versatile Can also support pretreatment and removal of heavy metals and other pollutants. ## Where it fits #### **Landfill leachate** One of the primary, most established applications for PFAS flocculation.  #### **Industrial process water** For water matrices where PFAS occurs together with other contaminants.  #### **Fire-suppression water** Including complex waste streams from firefighting activities and training sites. CUSTOMER CASE ## Proven in full-scale operation Chromafora's containerised flocculation system has treated more than 8,000 m³ of PFAS-contaminated leachate for the Danish EPA, consistently achieving over 95% PFAS4 removal at a legacy landfill site.
