Removal of Endocride Disruptors
At Inopsys, we specialize in the removal of micropollutants, including endocrine disruptors such as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and PFAS. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that can interfere with the hormonal system, potentially causing adverse effects in both humans and wildlife. The removal of these substances from wastewater is increasingly critical.
Regulatory pressure is mounting, and companies are increasingly obligated to remove PFAS from highly variable and challenging waste streams. A growing concern is the emergence of ultra-short PFAS, such as TFA, which are more difficult to capture and break through conventional filters much faster than legacy PFAS.
Inopsys as a one-stop shop for PFAS removal
While many technologies claim to offer one universal solution for PFAS removal, the reality is far more complex. The type of PFAS and the specific wastewater matrix have a significant impact on treatment efficiency, cost, and sustainability.
At Inopsys, we have invested years in R&D to become a one-stop shop for PFAS removal. Our goal is to fully relieve our clients of the technical burden by delivering and continuously implementing the best available technology (BAT) tailored to their site-specific needs.
Ultra-Short PFAS testing installation
As part of our commitment to innovation, we’ve developed a containerized pilot installation for testing the removal of ultra-short PFAS from complex streams like landfill leachate. This pilot setup enables direct comparison of adsorbent materials such as activated carbon and PFAS-specific ion-exchange resins.
Results from multiple pilots show that ion-exchange resins can completely remove ultra-short PFAS like TFA, with a typical capacity 6 to 12 times higher than activated carbon.
Our R&D team excels in PFAS analytics and technology screening, guiding clients in selecting the right combination or train of treatment technologies. Importantly, we are independent from any supplier of ion-exchange resins or activated carbon. Our engineering and operations teams provide full on-site system integration and ensure continuous performance optimization thanks to our flexible, mobile, and modular system design.
