Onsite PFAS Destruction using Electro-Oxidation (EO)
BREAK FREE FROM PFAS™
Obreak™, Ovivo’s patented Electro-Oxidation (EO) System, featuring E2metrix technology, leverages more than a decade of experience in developing, designing, fabricating, and delivering commercial EO solutions for a wide range of applications and contaminants.
All the features from our commercial EO reactors – industrial, robust design; optimal hydraulics from CFD modeling; ease of maintenance; automation; energy efficiency; remote operation on multiple platforms – have been incorporated into Obreak™ Electro-Oxidation for Onsite PFAS Destruction.
In electrochemical oxidation (also known as electro-oxidation), an electrical current is passed through water being treated continuously in an EO reactor. Direct electron transfer at the anode surface, and oxidants generated in the water lead to breaking these C-F bonds into carbon dioxide (CO2) and fluoride (F–), both which are harmless at these low levels. When EO is integrated with concentration and polishing steps, this integrated treatment solution can significantly reduce the treatment costs vs current adsorption only approaches. Moreover, EO can be easily operated at the site of capture, avoiding transportation and liability concerns.

Obreak™ for onsite PFAS destruction can be configured (e.g. anode selection) and adapted to meet your technical, regulatory, and financial needs. More importantly, Obreak™ is one tool in Ovivo’s toolbox of concentration, destruction, and polishing unit operations. Ovivo can provide a single processing step or the complete, overall, integrated PFAS treatment train — your best bet for a cost-effective solution.
