Claros' technology breaks the carbon fluorine bonds of PFAS using a photochemical process, which returns the chemicals into their natural basic elements and harmless byproducts.
"We became PFAS detection experts so that we could become destruction experts," said John Brockgreitens, Claros Technologies' VP of research and development
The dangers and scale of the 'forever chemicals' problem are increasingly apparent, but new technologies provide solutions by allowing companies to recycle wastewater into clean water that can be safely reused for drinking, irrigation, and industry, writes John Brockgreitens, vice president of research and development at Claros Technologies.
John Brockgreitens, Vice President of Research & Development for Claros Technologies shares his viewpoints on per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS), including the direction of regulations as well as what can and should be done to root out the contaminants for good.
Sustainability in business is a topic that is often talked about. Actually making improvements in sustainability, however, can be a difficult thing to do. Will Hutchinson, director of supply chain for Claros Technologies, discusses.
Innovative technologies such as the ones developed and incubated at the University of Minnesota and commercialized by Claros Technologies could destroy PFAS in wastewater and allow for the safe reuse of water.
Business as usual can no longer work for the apparel and textile industries. Dr. S. Piril Ertem, Claros Technologies Director of Materials Science discusses four key ways that the textile industry can adopt sustainable business practices.
Claros Technologies, Inc., developed a proprietary technology that allows for the total destruction of toxic persistent chemicals, including long, short, and ultrashort per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), into their natural basic elements and harmless byproducts.
Claros Technologies recently passed an ANAB external audit for ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and received accreditation. ISO 17025 is the international standard for laboratory competence.
New technology: Claros has developed a destruction method called The Elemental that uses UV light and chemical additives to break down PFAS. John Brockgreitens, Director of Research and Development at Claros Technologies, Inc. was interviewed by Susan Smiley for this article.
