The chemistry of permanent capture.
The Thermobind polymer dissolves in solution and binds PFAS at ambient temperature. Thermal activation above its LCST (40°C) reversibly collapses it into dense PFAS-rich flocs that simple filtration removes. Inside our continuous-flow skid, that property becomes a controlled, repeatable process.
A thermo-responsive polymer built to trap forever chemicals.
The Thermobind polymer dissolves in solution and binds PFAS species at ambient temperature, demonstrated across seven common PFAS spiked at 100 ppb, with 94% removal of PFOS and 91% removal of PFDA. Thermal activation above its lower critical solution temperature (40°C) reversibly collapses the bound complex into dense, PFAS-rich flocs that simple filtration captures.
Short- and long-chain species captured at ambient temperature, no heat needed for binding.
Designed to favor PFAS over background organics in the stream.
Thermal activation above the polymer's LCST collapses it into separable flocs.
Filtered floc is dense, dry, and stable for transport and storage.
A continuous-flow, instrumented system.
The Thermobind skid is engineered for safe, repeatable operation wherever PFAS waste needs to be handled. Each unit is sized to throughput and integrated with on-site controls and reporting.
How Thermobind compares to today's PFAS toolkit.
Thermobind is designed to complement, not replace, most existing PFAS capture systems. It addresses the volume-and-disposal problem those systems leave behind.
| Capability | Thermobind | RO | Ion Exchange | Foam Frac |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Captures PFAS from water | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Reduces final-disposal volume | Yes | No | No | No |
| Low-energy operation | Yes | Partial | Yes | Yes |
| Closed-flow-loop, no airborne release | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Audit-grade per-pass records | Yes | Partial | Partial | Partial |
| Works as drop-in post-treatment | Yes | No | No | No |
Directional comparison. Real-world performance depends on stream composition, flow rate, and integration.
Engineered for the people who run it.
Thermal destruction is effective but extreme, extreme operation, specialty facilities, and complex permitting. Thermobind sits upstream of that step, binding PFAS in solution and flocculating with thermal activation at 40°C.
