ZeroFluoro™ │ Integrated PFAS Removal &Destruction .The End of Forever Chemicals
PFAS Contaminants: The Forever Chemicals
PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are a group of synthetic chemicals known for their resistance to heat, water, and oil. Often called “forever chemicals”, they do not break down naturally and accumulate in water, soil, wildlife, and human bodies.
ZeroFluoro™ is an innovative, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable technology designed powered by InfraCorp to completely eliminate PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) from contaminated liquids. Unlike conventional methods that only capture or concentrate PFAS, ZeroFluoro™ achieves total destruction through advanced electrochemical oxidation.This proprietary system sequentially breaks the strong carbon–fluorine bonds using a durable, low-cost electrode, delivering effective and reliable PFAS removal.
Why PFAS Are a Concern
- Persistent: PFAS can remain in the environment for hundreds of years.
- Bioaccumulative: They build up in living organisms, including humans.
- Toxic: Linked to serious health issues such as:
- Cancer
- Liver and kidney damage
- Immune system suppression
- Developmental effects in infants
- Ubiquitous: Found in:
- Drinking water
- Soil and groundwater near industrial sites
Food packaging, non-stick cookware, firefighting foams

ZeroFluoro™ Value Proposition
ZeroFluoro™ offers a breakthrough solution for complete elimination of PFAS contaminants, addressing one of the most persistent and hazardous challenges in water treatment today. By leveraging advanced electrochemical oxidation, ZeroFluoro™ goes beyond traditional capture methods to irreversibly destroy PFAS molecules, ensuring zero residual pollution.
This results in:
- Total PFAS destruction for safe discharge or reuse
- Cost-effective operation with durable, low-maintenance electrodes
- Scalable and adaptable technology for diverse industrial and municipal applications
- Environmentally sustainable process that avoids secondary waste generation
ZeroFluoro™ empowers industries, municipalities, and environmental managers to meet stringent regulatory requirements, protect public health, and restore contaminated water resources with confidence and efficiency.
ZeroFluoro™: The PFAS Destruction Solution
ZeroFluoro™ is InfraCorp’s proprietary PFAS destruction platform, purpose-built for CMP waste streams and rinse water systems.
Key Benefits:
- Destroys PFAS from CMP surfactants at the molecular level
- Integrates with reclaim loops and brine systems
- Produces no toxic brine or secondary waste
- Scalable from pilot systems to full fab integration
- Supports ESG goals and PFAS discharge compliance
Why PFAS Matter
- Extremely persistent in the environment
- Linked to cancer, immune dysfunction, hormonal disruption, and developmental issues
- Detected globally in drinking water, groundwater, industrial effluents, and even rainwater
- Regulatory pressure increasing: EPA, EU, and others now enforcing strict PFAS discharge limits
ZeroFluoro™ is InfraCorp’s advanced PFAS destruction and crystallization platform — specifically designed for hard-to-treat waters in industrial, landfill, and remediation applications.
PFAS in CMP Wastewater
CMP slurries often contain PFAS-based surfactants for their chemical stability and low surface energy. These compounds enter rinse wastewater and contribute significantly to PFAS pollution in semiconductor fabs.
Traditional treatment technologies like activated carbon or RO cannot destroy PFAS — they only transfer the problem downstream
InfraCorp Advantage
- Destruction, not just separation
- PFAS-to-solid transformation — no liquid concentrate waste
- Compatible with ZLD systems (Min™ZLD, ThermoRO™)
- Reduced PFAS liability and long-term environmental risk
- Supports ESG & regulatory compliance goals
Use Cases
- Textile & PFAS Coating Plants
- Electronics & Semiconductor Wastewater
- AFFF Firefighting Foam Disposal
- Oil & Gas Effluents
Landfill & Hazardous Waste Sites
How ZeroFluoro™ Works
ZeroFluoro™ is a multi-stage PFAS treatment system integrating:
|
