Lummus Technology, a leading provider of process technologies and energy solutions, and Element Six, a pioneer in CVD diamond technology, have joined forces to tackle the global PFAS contamination challenge. This exclusive global partnership aims to introduce scalable and viable solutions for treating, destroying, and eliminating PFAS from water sources.
PFAS, also known as ‘forever chemicals,’ are persistent and harmful substances that can accumulate in the environment and human bodies. Their widespread use in various industrial applications has resulted in significant contamination of water sources, posing serious risks to human health and ecosystems.
This partnership leverages Element Six’s expertise in CVD diamond technology, which offers a promising approach to PFAS destruction. CVD diamond materials exhibit exceptional properties that make them ideal for treating contaminated water. They are highly resistant to chemical attack, possess a wide electrochemical window, and can withstand harsh operating conditions.
By combining Lummus Technology’s process engineering capabilities with Element Six’s innovative CVD diamond solutions, the partnership aims to deliver a comprehensive and effective solution for PFAS remediation. Their joint efforts will focus on developing and deploying scalable and cost-effective technologies that can be readily adopted by industries and municipalities worldwide.
