Plant-Based Adsorbent for PFAS
Cyclopure, a company based in Chicago, introduced a groundbreaking filtration technology called DEXSORB® designed to tackle PFAS. The EPA's stringent new rules mean no PFAS in drinking water is considered safe, pushing the demand for effective filtration solutions. DEXSORB, crafted from plant-based cyclodextrins (aka sugar donuts that trap chemicals), specifically targets PFAS through a selective adsorption process, allowing for their complete removal from water supplies. They say that this innovation is a boon for water treatment dealers, offering a high-capacity, efficient alternative to traditional methods that might require more media and deal with disposal issues. Plus, DEXSORB has been green-lit for drinking water use in Massachusetts, highlighting its efficacy and safety for public and residential applications.
