PFAS and Emerging Contaminant Removal
Mueller Water offers advanced systems designed to tackle the complex challenge of removing PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) and other emerging contaminants from water. As awareness and regulation around these persistent pollutants grow, our solutions provide effective and reliable treatment, ensuring your water supply meets the highest safety and compliance standards. Our systems come complete with all necessary piping, valves, fittings, and automatic controls, offering a turnkey solution for comprehensive water purification.
How it Works
Our PFAS and emerging contaminant removal systems utilize a combination of proven technologies to effectively capture and eliminate these harmful substances from water:
- Granular Activated Carbon (GAC): GAC is highly effective at adsorbing PFAS compounds, capturing them within its porous structure and preventing them from entering the water supply.
- Ion Exchange Resins: Specialized resins are used to target and remove specific PFAS compounds, as well as other emerging contaminants, through a selective ion exchange process.
- Reverse Osmosis (RO): RO membranes provide a physical barrier to PFAS, effectively filtering out even the smallest of these persistent pollutants along with other contaminants.
- Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP): AOP involves the generation of hydroxyl radicals that break down PFAS and other emerging contaminants into less harmful substances.
Each of these technologies can be customized and combined to create a tailored solution that meets your specific water treatment needs.

How to Size
Accurate sizing of your PFAS and emerging contaminant removal system is critical to ensure effective and efficient operation. Key factors to consider include:
- Contaminant Levels: Assess the concentration and variety of PFAS and other emerging contaminants in your water source to determine the appropriate treatment technology and system configuration.
- Water Flow Rate: Determine the flow rate required to meet your operational demands without compromising treatment efficiency.
- System Integration: Ensure that the PFAS removal system can be seamlessly integrated into your overall water treatment process for continuous operation.
Our engineering team will assist you in accurately sizing your system, providing detailed recommendations to meet your specific requirements.
