Claros Technologies, Daikin America announce optimization of PFAS destruction technology

Claros Technologies, Inc. has announced the successful completion of a large-scale commercial optimization run of its proprietary UV-photochemical PFAS destruction platform, ClarosTechUV, at Daikin America’s facility in Decatur, Alabama.

Following the success of an earlier pilot project announced this year, the latest run confirms that the technology is ready for full commercial use. This achievement highlights Daikin America’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing and showcases Claros’s innovation in PFAS destruction, positioning both companies to deliver the world’s first fully commercial industrial installation for PFAS destruction.

During this phase, the ClarosTechUV system treated more than 170,000 gallons of industrial process water containing various PFAS compounds. The system achieved greater than 99.99 percent destruction of all targeted PFAS types, including long-, short-, and ultra-short-chain compounds. It operated at high flow rates of hundreds of gallons per minute while maintaining stable performance and strong energy efficiency.
