Benefits of Single-Use Selective Resin
• Simple, field-proven commercial available
• > 99.99% reduction to ND short & long chain PFAS
• Lower CAPEX ~ ½ of GAC 3X lower contact time
• Reduced footprint /headspace important in crowded areas
• High operating capacity 100,000 to 350,000 BV
• Competitive OPEX typical $0.15 to $0.40 / Kgal
