Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances don't break down. Granular activated carbon adsorbs them at the parts-per-trillion level. The challenge isn't the chemistry — it's deploying the right system for the right source water.
Filtration as a Service
Carbon Chemistry is developing a managed filtration model for utilities and municipalities facing PFAS compliance obligations. Rather than selling media and walking away, we're building a service that covers system design, media specification, deployment, monitoring, and spent-carbon handling.
The program is not yet fully operational. We are selectively taking on pilot projects now — situations where we can do the work carefully, learn what the full service needs to look like, and produce an outcome the pilot site can actually use.

Regeneration, reactivation, and thermal destruction — the lifecycle of spent GAC and what the right end-of-life decision looks like for different systems.
