Precision-built treatment equipment and integration for emerging contaminants. From modular skids to industrial-scale remediation, we deliver the technology that powers your project's success.
Per and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) includes a group of thousands of chemical compounds manufactured for decades and used in everyday consumer products. The strong chemical bonds that make PFAS compounds such an attractive product are also the source of the current environmental concern. Their persistence in our surrounding environment increases our long-term exposure and susceptibility to the known adverse health effects.
PRM has the experience and capability to remove PFAS from any water source, including municipal drinking water systems, groundwater remediation, and industrial process waste. We deliver project-specific system integration taking into consideration contaminant profiles, treatment objectives, regulatory requirements, and your unique site challenges. From traditional reactive media to contaminant concentration and ultimate destruction, PRM tailors optimal PFAS solutions that protect public health and ensure compliance.

High removal of long-chain PFAS (PFOA/PFOS). Granular Activated Carbon provides effective adsorption through its extensive surface area and pore structure, making it particularly effective for traditional PFAS compounds.
High flow rates, cost-effective for general remediation. GAC systems are ideal for municipal drinking water treatment, groundwater remediation sites, and industrial applications where proven, economical treatment is required.
Custom ASME Pressure Vessels, media supply, and change-out services.
PRM designs and manufactures custom ASME-certified pressure vessels sized specifically for your flow rates and contaminant levels. We provide complete lifecycle support including initial media installation, performance monitoring, and scheduled change-out services to maintain optimal treatment efficiency.
Enhanced kinetic performance with rapid uptake of PFAS compounds across multiple chain lengths. Surface modification increases affinity for fluorinated compounds while maintaining high capacity.
Applications requiring longer media bed life and improved treatment efficacy. Particularly effective in high-volume municipal systems and industrial facilities where extended run times reduce operational costs and downtime.
Engineered media bed systems with optimized contact time and flow distribution.
PRM integrates surface modified clay media into custom-designed treatment trains that maximize contact efficiency. Our systems include pre-filtration where needed and advanced flow distribution to ensure consistent performance across the entire media bed.
Rapid kinetics with superior performance for short-chain PFAS removal. IX resins utilize charged exchange sites that effectively capture both long-chain legacy PFAS and newer short-chain replacement compounds that challenge traditional activated carbon.
Compact footprints, low concentrations with high throughput. Ideal for sites with limited space, municipal drinking water systems treating to non-detect levels, and applications where short-chain PFAS (GenX, PFBS) are present alongside traditional compounds.
Lead/Lag IX Skids with NSF-certified resins.
PRM designs lead-lag configuration systems that maximize resin utilization and provide built-in redundancy. We exclusively use NSF-certified resins approved for drinking water contact. Our skid-mounted systems include all necessary instrumentation, automated backwash capabilities, and can be deployed as permanent installations or rental units.
Advanced blended media technology targeting complex PFAS profiles including cyclic compounds and emerging variants. Combines multiple removal mechanisms for comprehensive treatment across the full PFAS spectrum.
Complex waste streams with diverse PFAS contamination profiles. More efficient than traditional GAC or IX alone when treating industrial effluent, manufacturing process water, or sites with unknown or variable PFAS composition.
Custom-engineered blended media systems with site-specific formulation.
PRM works with leading media manufacturers to develop application-specific media blends. We conduct pilot testing to optimize ratios and configurations, then integrate the proven formulation into manufactured treatment systems with performance guarantees.
Concentration of PFAS in high-solids or complex waste streams. Foam fractionation exploits the surfactant properties of PFAS compounds, using controlled bubble generation to separate and concentrate contaminants from difficult matrices.
Landfill leachate and industrial process water with high organic content or suspended solids. Particularly effective as a pre-concentration step before polishing with GAC or IX, dramatically reducing downstream media consumption and disposal costs.
Integrated fractionation units and concentration systems.
PRM has extensive experience designing foam fractionation systems specifically for landfill applications. Our integrated approach includes appropriate pre-treatment, optimized bubble generation, foam collection and collapse systems, and downstream polishing. We provide complete turnkey solutions from design through operation.
Comprehensive suite of complementary treatment technologies including prefiltration for suspended solids removal, cartridge filtration for final polishing, and custom blended media formulations tailored to your unique water chemistry and contaminant profile.
Sites with unique challenges requiring engineered solutions. Applications include high-turbidity groundwater needing prefiltration, process water requiring multi-stage treatment, or complex contamination profiles demanding custom media blends and sequential treatment processes.
Complete custom engineering and system integration services.
With 35+ years of water treatment experience, PRM excels at solving complex remediation challenges. Our engineering team evaluates your site-specific conditions, develops optimal treatment trains, and manufactures integrated systems in our ASME-certified facility. From initial bench testing through full-scale deployment, we deliver proven solutions with performance guarantees.
PRM systems provide reliable, effective solutions in the water treatment, PFAS and emerging contaminants industries sector.
From a simple skid-mounted pump to large-scale recovery and treatment systems, PRM designs and manufactures systems to perform for the life of the project. We partner with you from preliminary design through system manufacturing and installation all the way through the life cycle of your project — featuring PRM operations & maintenance services and remedial system assessments.
