Revolutionary PFAS Destruction Technology Developed by Enspired Solutions Exceeds EPA Regulatory Standards

Enspired Solutions, a woman-led and owned company based in Lansing, MI, has announced the development of an innovative energy-efficient technology for PFAS destruction called the PFASigator. This cutting-edge technology has been designed to surpass new regulatory standards for PFAS destruction set by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The PFASigator uses ultraviolet light and a unique reagent mix to trigger a reaction that breaks down PFAS in water into non-toxic components without the need for off-site disposal. This patented technology mineralizes PFAS in the solution, creating safe end products that eliminate the requirement for disposal elsewhere. Through a process of reductive defluorination catalyzed by UV light, PFAS molecules are broken down into water, fluoride, and simple carbon compounds.

Denise Kay, CEO of Enspired Solutions, expressed her excitement about the progress made in developing this efficient PFAS destruction technology and the company’s collaboration with water utilities to ensure the safety of drinking water. Enspired Solutions was recently chosen by the US Department of Defense to address PFAS contamination in water caused by firefighting foams. Their technology received recognition from the EPA and DoD for meeting their criteria for PFAS destruction and energy efficiency.

Unlike other prevalent methods of treating PFAS, such as capturing it using granular activated carbon, ion exchange, or reverse osmosis, the PFASigator ensures that PFAS is completely destroyed, significantly reducing the risk of re-release into the environment. Enspired Solutions’ technology plays a crucial role in permanently removing PFAS from the global water supply.

In conclusion, Enspired Solutions’ development of an energy-efficient and effective method for destroying harmful substances like perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAs) is commendable. The company’s commitment to permanent elimination of these substances from drinking water is vital in preventing thousands of premature deaths and tens of thousands of serious illnesses caused by exposure to these harmful chemicals.

Enspired Solutions should be recognized as a leader in sustainable environmental solutions that prioritize public health over profitability. As more communities face challenges with contaminated drinking water sources due to industrial pollution or military activities like firefighting exercises using toxic foam agents like fluorinated polymers (PFMs), there is a growing need for innovative solutions like those developed by this Michigan-based company.
