Accelerating PFAS Treatment for High-Strength, High-Complexity Waters

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) can become harder to manage when water contains elevated organic loading, precursor compounds or complex changeout residuals. Conventional adsorption-only approaches may leave critical compounds behind, increase media demand and slow progress toward discharge goals. Onterris brings together water consulting, testing and treatment expertise with AvPURE, an advanced oxidation pretreatment approach that helps improve downstream PFAS removal and support more effective treatment performance across complex matrices.

Supporting Your Industry

Water challenges vary across sectors and geographies, and our experts help identify the right solutions for your specific needs
why it matters

Complex PFAS water needs stronger treatment strategy

  • High-organic waters can limit conventional PFAS treatment
  • Precursor compounds can reduce downstream media efficiency
  • Discharge targets demand defensible, site-specific treatment design
  • AFFF transition water can require more than adsorption alone
  • Faster validation helps teams act with greater confidence

Improving PFAS treatment through oxidation-led pretreatment

Onterris supports PFAS treatment challenges with integrated consulting, laboratory evaluation and field deployment strategies that connect science to implementation. AvPURE is used as a pretreatment step to break down organic compounds, promote partial PFAS precursor transformation and improve adsorption performance in complex waters, including AFFF transition wastewater and other high-strength matrices.
