Oxyle has developed a groundbreaking method to destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water by breaking down the chemical bonds between the molecules. The process, known as catalytic oxidation-reduction, leverages mechanical energy sources already present in water systems, such as flow and vibrations. This innovative approach avoids the need for additional energy, making it both efficient and environmentally friendly. By chipping away at the bonds between PFAS molecules, Oxyle's technology effectively eliminates these persistent pollutants, transforming them into harmless, mineralized products.

The Oxyle method is designed to tackle a wide range of PFAS, including short, medium, and long-chain variants, and can address both current contamination and historical pollution. The technology has demonstrated over 99.8% effectiveness in removing PFAS from highly contaminated environments. This makes it a promising solution for cleaning up water sources and soil, offering a sustainable and waste-free approach to managing PFAS pollution. Oxyle's technology represents a significant advancement in the field of environmental remediation, providing a viable method for mitigating the impact of these harmful substances.
