Complete Destruction with HALT Technology

HALT harnesses the unique properties of hot, compressed water to quickly mineralize PFAS without producing any toxic byproducts.
“Aquagga’s technology won them first prize out of 120 applicants at the EPA’s Innovative Ways to Destroy PFAS Challenge”
Sion Geschwindt - H2O Global News

Complete PFAS Elimination

We break the strong carbon-fluorine bonds that hold PFAS molecules together to produce clean water and safe salts.
>99.9999%
Mineralization of full range of PFAS compounds.
>80%
Reduction in energy vs incineration.
Product technical Specifications

Designing and delivering a first-of-its kind mobile treatment solution.

Our system accepts a variety of feedstocks to meet your treatment goals. Your water is continuously fed to the intake, and then clean water comes out.

Recent Customer Case Studies.

AFFF Stockpiles.

Disposal of concentrated AFFF is a challenge due to mounting technical and regulatory concerns. Historically, AFFF concentrates have been incinerated, but recently the DoD released a temporary moratorium on the incineration of AFFF.

We recently partnered with an AFB to treat AFFF concentrates. For the full range of PFAS measured, >99.99% of PFAS was destroyed.

Fire Training Pond.

AFFF used for fire training accumulates in pit water on-site. This results in high concentrations of PFAS, large treatment volumes, and other water quality parameters impacting treatment.

We recently partnered with an airport to conduct a continuous pilot study for treating fire training pit water. For the full range of PFAS measured, >99.91% of PFAS was destroyed.

Landfill Leachate and Soil.

We recently treated both raw leachate and a foam fractionate from in-situ soil treatment.

For the full range of PFAS measured, >99.8% of PFAS was destroyed in the raw leachate and >98.9% was destroyed in the fractionate.
