CoreWater Technologies develops PFAS-remediation technology that removes and isolates “forever chemicals” from drinking water so they can be destroyed rather than sent to landfills or incinerated. Its patented Core+™ adsorbent uses modified granular activated carbon that can be regenerated and reused, while the ARID Process™ concentrates PFAS for application of destruction technologies. The company’s approach is designed for both municipal water systems and consumer filtration applications.
