Technology Principle

How does HydroPhoX work?

Our technology is designed to selectively remove persistent organic pollutants, including PFAS and PAHs, at the polishing stage of the water treatment process.

In contrast to traditional adsorbent media, HydroPhoX modules actively sequester pollutants.
