Perma-FAS™

Permanent PFAS Destruction and Treatment Technology

Perma-Fix has developed a groundbreaking Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) destruction technology called Perma-FAS™, unique in that it is the only solution on the market to chemically destroy PFAS contaminants while creating an organic effluent at temperatures at or below 150 degrees Celsius. For over three decades, Perma-Fix has remained a competitive force in the waste treatment and remediation segments across federal, state, regulatory, and commercial industries. This PFAS destruction technology further enhances our expertise in these markets.

Overview & Capabilities

Liability Reduction

Perma-FAS™ provides a permanent PFAS treatment and destruction solution that helps organizations eliminate long-term liability associated with PFAS waste disposal, landfill placement, or deep-well injection of contaminated materials.
SAFE & ENERGY EFFICIENT

Our PFAS destruction technology chemically destroys contaminants at temperatures at or below 150°C, providing a low-temperature, energy-efficient alternative to incineration and supercritical water oxidation for PFAS waste treatment and remediation.
VERSATILE

This water-based PFAS destruction process has demonstrated 99.9999% destruction efficiency on high-concentration contaminated liquids. Initial testing has also shown excellent PFAS reduction in challenging waste streams, including PFAS-contaminated soils, sludges, ion exchange resins, and granulated activated carbon (GAC), making Perma-FAS™ a versatile solution for PFAS waste treatment and remediation.
NON-HAZARDOUS RESIDUE

Perma-FAS™ permanently destroys PFAS compounds and converts them into a non-hazardous, mineralized fluoride effluent that is easily separated from treated liquids, providing a sustainable solution for PFAS remediation and regulatory compliance.
Proven Performance on Challenging Fluorinated Compounds

Perma-FAS™ has demonstrated destruction of PFAS and other fluorinated compounds, including Freons and Teflon®, supporting advanced fluorochemical waste treatment and remediation.
LICENSED AND PERMITTED RADIOACTIVE AND HAZWASTE PROCESSING FACILITIES

Perma-Fix facilities hold unique permits with Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), and RAD authorizations for PFAS-contaminated media with hazardous, toxic, and radiological contaminants.

Accepted PFAS-Contaminated Waste Streams

Perma-FAS™ is ideal for treating a wide range of PFAS-laden media, including:

High Concentration Liquids

- AFFF Replacement / Rinsate
- Foam Fractionation Concentrate
- Reverse-Osmosis Rejects (Brine)

Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) & Concentrates

- Public Water Supply Filtration
- Landfill Leachate (GAC Portion)
- Groundwater Cleanup

Soils & Biosludges

- AFFF Contamination – Soil Remediation
- Wastewater – Biosolids (New Generation)
- Wastewater – Biosolids (Legacy Farmland Contamination)

Commercial PFAS Destruction System in Gainesville, Florida

Perma-Fix Florida (PFF) is home to the first commercial-scale Perma-FAS™ PFAS destruction system, providing advanced treatment for PFAS-contaminated liquid waste. Built in partnership with ProcessBarron, the facility supports technology optimization, operational growth, and future deployment opportunities.

Advancing PFAS Treatment Through Research & Innovation

Perma-Fix is advancing PFAS treatment and destruction technologies through ongoing research, testing, and pilot-scale deployment across our treatment facilities. Working with academic, government, and commercial partners, we continue to develop innovative solutions for PFAS remediation, waste management, and environmental sustainability.

PFAS-Based AFFF Elimination Partnership

Perma-Fix has joined forces with Enforcer One to deliver a nationwide, turnkey solution for the safe removal, destruction, and replacement of PFAS-based aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) with high-performance fluorine-free alternatives such as FIREBULL® AB. Through this strategic partnership, organizations can address PFAS contamination from initial AFFF removal through permanent destruction and replacement with environmentally responsible firefighting foam solutions.
