EPOC Enviro launches world‑leading PFAS removal trial in Australia

Australian firm EPOC Enviro has begun a full‑scale field trial of its Surface‑Active Foam Fractionation (SAFF) technology to remove per‑ and poly‑fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from wastewater. After successful pilot studies, the trial is being conducted at a sewage treatment plant in Australia, aiming to demonstrate world‑leading performance in PFAS remediation.

The SAFF process, marketed as a novel foam‑fractionation method, targets PFAS contaminants that are resistant to conventional treatment. The trial seeks to validate the technology’s effectiveness at scale and could inform broader deployment in water‑treatment facilities.
