The semiconductor industry relies heavily on PFAS, specifically short-chain PFAS, in manufacturing processes and applications. Since replacing PFAS with alternatives has not been feasible, preventing PFAS contamination is critical for protecting the environment and public health. 🌱🚑 With new regulations emerging, semiconductor fabs will face increasing pressure to address PFAS contamination in their wastewater. To efficiently manage and intercept PFAS in these facilities, treatment should ideally occur close to the source, where concentrations are higher. 🎯 Our HALT technology destroys PFAS in complex industrial waste streams on site. As shown in our latest publication, HALT effectively destroys high concentrations of PFAS even in a high total dissolved solids (TDS) matrix. Specifically, ultra short, short, and long-chain PFASs achieved complete degradation and defluorination under relatively mild HALT conditions, validated by a range of analytical techniques. This study demonstrates how HALT can tackle PFAS in complex industrial wastewater matrices, like those found in semiconductor fabs. ➡️ Read our latest publication here: https://hubs.la/Q02Vv55r0 Join us at UltraFacility in Phoenix, AZ next week at Booth #26 to learn how HALT can support PFAS destruction in fabrication wastewater! 💦 ➡️ For more information about PFAS in the semiconductor industry: https://hubs.la/Q02VvcGS0 #PFAS #destruction #cleantech #environment #technology #endingpfas #UltraFacility24

We're thrilled to be exhibiting at UltraFacility next week! ✈️ Aquagga has been invited to speak at the session titled, "12 Water Tech for Facility Performance" on Tuesday, October 29th at 4:00 PM. Brian Pinkard, CTO & Co-Founder, will be showcasing HALT’s effectiveness in treating highly complex waste streams containing long, short, and ultra short-chain PFAS. He'll also share insights from a recent collaboration with 3M on industrial wastewater treatment. You won't want to miss this discussion! 💧 Don't forget to also stop by booth #26 to meet Brian and Daniel Nelson, our Director of Industrial Sales. 👋 We look forward to seeing you there! #PFAS #destruction #cleantech #environment #technology #endingpfas #UltraFacility24

Interested to hear about how HALT can destroy PFAS in AFFF with >99.99% destruction efficiency? Members of our R&D department, Annie Y. Heble and Augusto Millevolte will be attending RemTEC & EC Summit next week. ✈️ We're especially excited for Gus's presentation, "Demonstration and Validation of Hydrothermal Alkaline Treatment for Destruction of PFAS-Rich Liquids" on Tuesday, October 15, from 11:45 AM - 12:15 PM in the Standley Ballroom. This presentation will spotlight our efforts treating 110 gallons of AFFF at an Air Force Base earlier this year. We once again prove HALT's ability to destroy PFAS, provide practical insights from the demonstration, and showcase a validated commercial use case for HALT. 💡 For folks attending, we hope to see you there! 👋 ➡️ More on Aquagga's Platform Presentation: https://hubs.la/Q02SB9Z60 #PFAS #destruction #cleantech #environment #technology #endingpfas #RemTEC

Appreciate the shoutout Greater Seattle Partners! 👏
Headquartered in City of Tacoma, WA, Aquagga Inc. has designed the first known technology that can fully break down Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) or forever chemicals without producing harmful byproducts using a proprietary hydrothermal processing (HTP) method. This process, which subjects water to high temperatures and pressures, breaks down PFAS molecules into harmless byproducts, offering an energy-efficient and on-site solution to contamination. Backed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) funding, Aquagga has conducted successful field trials and is recognized for its innovative approach to solving one of the most persistent environmental challenges. We remove forever chemicals in no time at all. #UncommonThinkersWelcome #PFAS #destruction #cleantech #environment #technology #endingpfas
