This $999,940 Cooperative Agreement awarded on March 15, 2024 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program supports the development and field deployment of Purafide, LLC's plasma-based water treatment technology to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination.
The project aims to pilot the innovative plasma reactor technology at high-priority PFAS remediation and landfill sites in Michigan, with the goal of achieving PFAS levels below state limits at commercially viable flow rates of around 5 gallons per minute. Additionally, the grant supports Purafide's efforts to develop in-house analytical capabilities and conduct technoeconomic analysis to reduce and predict costs of the technology. This work builds on Purafide's prior SBIR and grant funding from the EPA and NSF to advance plasma-based solutions for treating emerging contaminants and promoting environmental stewardship and water equity.
