PFAS Solutions

Maratek’s PFAS Removal Technologies

Maratek delivers innovative solutions to tackle PFAS contamination, protecting health and the environment through sustainable technologies for industrial processes, water treatment, and solvent recovery.

Fractional Distillation Systems

Maratek’s fractional distillation systems are highly effective for separating PFAS compounds from solvents and water. By leveraging precision engineering, our systems ensure that even trace amounts of PFAS are isolated, enabling the recovery of clean, reusable materials and the safe disposal of contaminants.

Solvent Recovery Solutions

For industries dealing with PFAS-contaminated solvents, our recovery systems provide an efficient solution. We specialize in reclaiming and purifying solvents while ensuring that harmful PFAS substances are eliminated, reducing waste and environmental impact.

Custom-Engineered Solutions

We understand that every PFAS remediation project is unique. Maratek’s custom-engineered systems are tailored to address specific contamination challenges, whether in industrial wastewater treatment, municipal water supplies, or specialized manufacturing applications.

What are PFAS?

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as "forever chemicals," are a class of synthetic compounds known for their durability and resistance to heat, water, and oil. While these properties make PFAS valuable in various applications, they also lead to environmental and health concerns.

Highly Persistent in the Environment, PFAS are resistant to natural breakdown processes, remaining in soil, water, and air for decades and earning their nickname, "forever chemicals."

Linked to Health Risks, exposure to PFAS has been associated with potential health effects, including liver damage, thyroid issues, immune system suppression, and certain cancers.

Widely Used in Everyday Products, PFAS are found in non-stick cookware, waterproof clothing, food packaging, firefighting foams, and industrial applications, contributing to widespread contamination.

Strict Regulatory Oversight, governments worldwide are enacting stringent regulations to limit PFAS production and manage contamination, creating a pressing need for effective recovery and treatment solutions.

Challenging to RemoveThe chemical stability that makes PFAS effective in products also makes them difficult to eliminate, requiring advanced recovery systems and specialized technologies.

Global ImpactPFAS contamination is a worldwide issue, affecting drinking water supplies, ecosystems, and industrial sites, prompting industries to adopt sustainable practices.

Success Stories: Real Results from Industry Leaders

The Solvent Saver 300 system Maratek installed here at Colorado Printing is working extremely well. It has lived up to every Maratek claim. We had tried another system that was nothing but headache after headache. We are pleased the Maratek Solvent Saver was able to help us reclaim our waste solvents.

I am pleased with Maratek's automatic recycling unit and service department. They have enabled us to clean up our contaminated solvent waste so that we can reuse it on-site.

The Maratek Solvent Saver was installed just over 3 years ago and I can say it has lived up to its claims of being able to provide quality recovered solvent for reuse on our Heidelberg sheetfed presses. We had looked at other systems but the flexibility, small space requirements, and being able to use our current solvent without switching made the Maratek system our final choice. We feel we made the right decision. Lake Country Press believes in doing its part in helping our environment, the Maratek Solvent Saver definitely plays a big part in our environmental and cost saving initiatives.

We have had the Maratek Solvent Saver for several years now and without a doubt it helped us achieve and maintain lower waste generator status and make our waste volume more manageable. I allow tours for Maratek because I am proud of what it does for us and feel everyone that creates solvent waste should have a Maratek System.

Standard Printing Company

Maratek's unit has worked really well. We have been using it to recycle toluene from road paints, but most surprising of all - we can't believe how quiet it is.
