AxNano Names Alexis Wells Carpenter Chief Executive Officer as Company Enters Next Phase of Commercial Growth Doug Speight Transitions to Vice Chairman and Strategic Advisor as Longtime Chief Innovation Officer Leads Expansion DURHAM (Oct 1) — AxNano Inc., a PFAS and…
As regulations tighten and public scrutiny around PFAS contamination increases, organizations are under growing pressure to move beyond temporary disposal solutions and adopt technologies that actually destroy PFAS—safely, reliably, and at scale. In a recent AxNano-hosted webinar with partners General…
PFAS treatment decisions made today will be judged against the regulatory, economic, and operational realities of the next decade. Too many organizations evaluate PFAS technologies based on current requirements and current waste volumes—only to find that the solution they chose…
For years, many organizations treated PFAS as a waste-management problem: remove it from water, concentrate it, and ship it somewhere else. That approach is rapidly losing viability—especially in landfill contexts. Landfills are increasingly becoming PFAS concentration points. As more PFAS…
“High destruction efficiency” is one of the most common claims in PFAS treatment. But the term is often used loosely—and sometimes misleadingly. Without clear definitions and validation standards, efficiency claims can obscure more than they reveal. Removal vs. Destruction vs…
Many PFAS treatment technologies demonstrate promising results at bench or pilot scale. But when those systems are expanded to full-scale operation, performance often declines. This failure to scale is not unusual—and it is not accidental. PFAS destruction places extreme demands…
For many organizations, PFAS compliance appears to be a water treatment problem. But as effluent limits tighten and removal technologies improve, a more difficult issue is emerging—PFAS accumulation in sludge and biosolids. In practice, sludge has become the quiet bottleneck…
When evaluating PFAS treatment systems, buyers often focus on upfront capital cost and reported destruction efficiency. Yet one variable quietly drives long-term cost more than almost any other: throughput. Throughput determines how quickly PFAS can be processed—and how expensive that…
In PFAS treatment, it is common to hear technologies described by their chemistry—thermal, electrochemical, catalytic, or advanced oxidation. While chemistry matters, it is not what determines whether a system succeeds in practice. The defining factor is reactor design. In real-world…
PFAS destruction technologies often look impressive on paper. Bench tests show high removal rates. Pilot studies report promising results. Yet when these same systems are deployed in the field, performance frequently degrades—sometimes dramatically. This gap between laboratory success and field…
