CLARIFICATION TREATMENT
Drop PFAS, Nutrients and Heavy Metals into the Sludge
Encore Flow is the only process that captures and removes PFAS compounds (along with nutrients, heavy metals and other contaminants) from the clarification basin without a specialized filter.
Clarification Treatment
Moving contaminants into the sludge.
As the Encore Flow active mineral compounds flocculate and capture the PFAS compounds and other metals and nutrients, this flocculant is sent to the clarification unit, where the hazardous chemicals settle at the bottom in the sludge and are removed for dewatering, drying and destruction.
Additional synthetic chemicals may be used during this process, but Encore Flow works on all contaminants (BOD, chemicals, toxins, pharmaceuticals, PFAS, etc), and reduces the need for heavy use of other chemicals. From here, the cleaned water can be treated, and we take care of the sludge entirely to ensure safe, clean water throughout the plant.
Cutting Edge PFAS Removal
The only solution that captures and destroys PFAS compounds in an environmentally friendly process.
Encore Flow captures and destroys PFAS compounds and reduces levels of PFAS in your wastewater to meet future EPA waterwater regulations.
Our process can work alone or complementary to filtration systems used for capturing PFAS, such as Granular Activated Carbon, Reverse Osmosis, High-Pressure Membranes and Anion Exchange Filters. These filtration systems capture much of the PFAS and heavy metals that pass through the system, but return a concentrated PFAS sludge that is today untreated and thus eventually returns back to the plant to re-infect the water.

THE DANGERS OF "FOREVER CHEMICALS"
Decades ago, companies began creating chemicals that are now spread throughout the world, and causing harm to people and animals.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that includes PFOA, PFOS and GenX chemicals. These chemicals are very persistent in the environment and in the human body and are often referred to as “forever chemicals”.
These chemicals must be removed entirely from the earth, in a safe, clean, energy-efficient, carbon-negative way.
Encore Flow is the only turnkey clean water solution.
If we used our current wastewater system to create a circular economy, without getting rid of PFAS compounds and other dangerous chemicals that plague our water table, we would be doing the world a disservice.
At Encore Flow, our rare earth minerals allow for ongoing treatment of all influent as well as activate sludge, and our end process destroys PFAS compounds and nutrients safely. The end product is safe air, safe water, and clean building materials.
Only with Encore Flow can we create a true circular water economy.
Are you testing for PFAS?
Although the EPA has not yet set PFAS standards for sludge and wastewater, the agency has long been aware of the problem. Problems have been reported for decades, with PFOA and PFOS in the water, and in fields, spread on grazing lands. Many tests have confirmed that these chemicals are contaminating animals and humans in rural areas.
