Mobile PFAS System Brings Treatment to Small Contaminated Sites

Posted

Rural communities, remote legacy sites, and smaller facilities are increasingly affected by PFAS contamination but often lack the infrastructure to implement traditional treatment systems.

Allonnia’s new SAFF®10 units directly address smaller contaminated sites like these with a compact, trailer-mounted solution designed to function where larger systems can’t.

The system applies the company’s existing Surface Active Foam Fractionation process in a smaller 7.5-foot by 15-foot form factor. It efficiently captures both long and short-chain PFAS compounds and can process up to 20,000 gallons of water per day.

Nicole  Richards, CEO of Allonnia, described the system in a nutshell: “The SAFF10 helps democratize clean water by delivering a  powerful, low-waste treatment solution that fits in on a small footprint bringing  advanced remediation to places that need it most.” 

It’s built for versatility, with remote monitoring capabilities, modular integration potential, and forklift-compatible mobility. It also includes dosing options for short-chain PFAS boosters—important for tackling the more resistant contaminants that often evade simpler treatments.

Real-World Results Support Market Fit

With over 400 million gallons of water treated globally and consistent PFAS removal rates above 99%, Allonnia’s broader SAFF platform has already seen successful use across more than a dozen sites in North America. The SAFF10 brings that same technology to markets previously underserved due to logistical or economic barriers.

Industries facing PFAS compliance challenges—such as landfills, industrial facilities, and military installations—can use the SAFF10 for applications ranging from groundwater remediation and leachate treatment to AFFF (firefighting foam) washdown water. Its smaller footprint and low-waste operation also make it well-suited for emergency deployments or facilities with intermittent treatment needs.
