AquaPurify Solutions

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), so called forever chemicals, are a class of extremely stable molecules used or derived from materials in daily life applications. Different techniques have been developed and used to collect, remove and treat these substances from contaminated sites, but are partial, selective and require high energy. We propose a novel technology developed at DTU Sustain, based on the combination of UV light and green chemistry in contaminated water, which is highly efficient and has the advantages of being nontoxic, biodegradable and use what is already widely available in the environment. Scaling-up this process, making this technology available can provide easier access to clean water for all and considerably reduce our impact on our environment and its biodiversity, while cutting down the costs.
