ShockPFAS™ delivers proven, on-site electrochemical oxidation that permanently destroys PFAS contamination—no concentrating, no transferring, no disposing. Just clean water.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of over 12,000 man-made chemicals that have been manufactured and used in industries and consumer products since the 1940s. They are called "forever chemicals" because they do not break down naturally in the environment or the human body.
PFAS contamination is now detected in drinking water supplies, groundwater, soil, and surface water across the country. The EPA has set Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for six PFAS compounds in drinking water—enforcement has already begun.
PFAS molecular structure & contamination pathways
ShockPFAS™ uses a patented electrochemical advanced oxidation process (eAOP) that generates hydroxyl and sulfate radicals to mineralize PFAS compounds directly in the water matrix—permanently eliminating them.
Our proprietary boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes generate powerful oxidative radicals that break the ultra-strong carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds in PFAS molecules, converting them to harmless fluoride, CO₂, and water.
Our systems are housed in standard ISO shipping containers, making them fully mobile and deployable to any site within days. Treat contaminated water where it is—no excavation, no transport of hazardous waste.
Unlike granular activated carbon (GAC) or ion exchange (IX) systems, ShockPFAS™ does not merely capture or concentrate PFAS. We destroy them completely, leaving no contaminated filter media to dispose of.
Systems scale from thousands to millions of gallons per day. Multiple units can operate in parallel to meet any flow-rate requirement for municipal water systems or large industrial sites.
All units feature real-time SCADA integration, remote monitoring dashboards, and automated operational controls—providing continuous compliance documentation and reducing on-site staffing needs.
Effluent quality data, chain-of-custody documentation, and compliance reporting are built into every ShockPFAS™ deployment, supporting EPA, state, and DOD regulatory requirements.

ShockPFAS™ serves a broad range of clients across commercial, industrial, and municipal sectors where PFAS contamination creates regulatory, liability, or operational challenges.
Meet new EPA MCLs for PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, PFHxS, HFPO-DA, and PFBS in drinking water. Protect public health and maintain regulatory compliance without costly off-site disposal contracts.
Decades of AFFF (aqueous film-forming foam) use have left airports as some of the highest-priority PFAS remediation sites in the country. We handle AFFF-impacted groundwater and stormwater at scale.
Chemical plants, semiconductor fabs, textile manufacturers, and other facilities using PFAS-containing compounds face growing liability. ShockPFAS™ addresses discharge permit compliance and site remediation.
Military installations across the US are among the most PFAS-impacted sites due to historical AFFF use. Our mobile units provide operational flexibility needed for active bases and base closure sites.
Fire departments and training centers that used AFFF for decades now face significant PFAS liability in soil and groundwater. Our systems can treat extracted groundwater to regulatory closure levels.
PFAS-laden leachate from municipal solid waste landfills represents one of the largest diffuse PFAS pollution pathways. ShockPFAS™ systems treat high-concentration leachate streams on-site.
ShockPFAS™ technology has been independently tested and validated at laboratory, pilot, and full-scale deployments across multiple site types and PFAS matrices.
Independent third-party testing confirms greater than 99% destruction of long-chain PFAS including PFOA and PFOS in a single pass through the ShockPFAS™ electrochemical reactor.
Treated effluent has consistently tested below 4 parts per trillion for PFOA and PFOS—meeting current EPA MCLs—across multiple site deployments with varied influent concentrations.
The electrochemical oxidation mechanism is effective across PFAS compound classes—including PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, PFHxS, PFBS, GenX, and short-chain precursors—not just regulated compounds.
ShockPFAS™ systems have been successfully deployed at municipal water utilities, industrial facilities, and AFFF-impacted sites—demonstrating consistent performance across varied water matrices.
ShockPFAS™ is an environmental technology company built around a singular mission: permanently destroying PFAS contamination in water using patented electrochemical advanced oxidation technology.
We were founded by a team of electrochemical engineers, environmental scientists, and remediation specialists who recognized that the existing approach to PFAS—capture and concentrate—was not a solution. It was a deferral. We built ShockPFAS™ to change that.
Our technology is the result of years of research, rigorous independent testing, and real-world deployments. We serve commercial, industrial, and municipal clients who need compliant, permanent, cost-effective PFAS remediation—not another filter to change.
Every system we deploy is backed by validated electrochemistry and real field performance data.
We don't move PFAS problems—we eliminate them. No concentrated waste. No deferred liability.
From initial site assessment to regulatory closure, we partner with clients throughout the entire remediation lifecycle.
Tell us about your PFAS challenge. Our technical team will review your site conditions and provide a tailored remediation approach and preliminary cost estimate—at no charge.
