Does Advanced Water Treatment (AWT) remove PFAS and PFOA?

Yes, Reverse Osmosis (RO) is effective in removing both PFAS and PFOA from recycled water supplies. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are amongst the top of the list of current regulatory concerns. According to the AWWA membrane filtration, using nanofiltration and/or RO membranes is excellent in broad spectrum removal of PFAS. Advanced Water Treatment (AWT) uses ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis as two of its treatment steps. Testing has shown that this technology is effective in removing PFAS from the treated wastewater. Read more about the history and future of PFAS/PFOA detection and removal here.
