About PFAS

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are often referred to as “forever chemicals” because they can withstand many conditions without breaking down, including exposure to water, heat, and grease. Studies have identified health risks associated with exposure to PFAS chemicals, from an increased risk of certain cancers to liver damage and thyroid disease. As a result, businesses face increased pressure to address their use and mitigate exposure to them.

Water treatment is one way to reduce the presence of PFAS chemicals in commercial and industrial water systems. Reynolds Culligan is a trusted expert in filtration and treatment solutions that can significantly reduce the presence of these chemicals in drinking water. Learn more about the systems we offer, some common questions about mitigating PFAS chemicals, and what makes Reynolds Culligan stand out.

Reducing PFAS in Your Water Supply: Our Solutions

It's important to realize that there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for reducing PFAS levels in water. Reynolds Culligan has design and installation expertise with custom PFAS removal systems. We use different innovative technologies based on our customers’ particular requirements and water chemistries.
  • Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Systems
  • Ion Exchange (IX) Systems
  • Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Systems

GAC uses the principle of adsorption to reduce PFAS particles from water supplies. These systems contain different types of porous adsorption media, including lignite coal, peat, and bituminous coal. We use NSF-certified carbon for these systems because it has the ability to eliminate long-chain PFAS from water with optimal effectiveness.

Granular Activated Carbon For Water Filter

Ion Exchange (IX) Systems

An IX system uses a chemical process called ion exchange to eliminate any dissolved ions from water sources, exchanging them with similarly charged ions. During this process, specialized resins bind to PFAS to remove them. These systems are a good choice for more targeted PFAS reduction, especially in combination systems for peak performance.

Ion Exchange (IX) Systems

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems

Reverse osmosis is a membrane separation process in which pressurized water is forced through multiple semipermeable membranes. The membranes keep designated molecules from getting through based on their molecular weight. This particular process can reduce short-chain PFAS, among many other contaminants, and is ideal for more extensive water treatment solutions.

In many cases, a multi-stage system that combines the systems described above is the most effective solution. We customize systems for each application, and provide media replacement and 24/7 support as part of our ongoing support services.

PFAS Water Treatment FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions and answers about PFAS treatment and filtration:

What are PFAS and why are they a concern for my business?

PFAS chemicals are also known as “forever chemicals” because of their resistance to a range of conditions that commonly cause chemical compounds to break down. They come from many sources, including industrial discharge and firefighting foam. Studies have linked these chemicals to various health risks, which is why businesses are working to drastically reduce exposure to them. Many companies also seek to treat water for PFAS chemicals in order to maintain EPA compliance, avoid potential liability, protect personnel, maintain product quality, and build their brand reputation.

Does reverse osmosis (RO) reduce PFAS in water?

Yes. RO works to reduce these chemicals from water, especially short-chain PFAS. However, despite its overall effectiveness, reverse osmosis is often costly and may not be fully effective when used alone. It works best as part of a multi-stage solution incorporating ion exchange and granular activated carbon.

What's the difference between a water filter and a treatment system for PFAS?

Filters are often consumer-grade and for point-of-use applications. Meanwhile, treatment systems offer a more precise and industrial-grade solution. While filters can reduce some substances, a treatment system is best for effective remediation. Also, the term “filter” may refer to a carbon block or other single component, while “systems” imply a comprehensive solution with multiple components.

How can I tell if my facility has a PFAS problem?

Professional testing is the only way to reliably identify a PFAS issue. Signs of a PFAS problem could include past chemical use and proximity to known PFAS sources. Contact the experts at Reynolds Culligan for thorough testing and analysis services.
