Ion Exchange Resins for PFAS Removal

PFAS drinking water regulations are here, and the decisions utilities make now will shape cost, footprint, and operating demands for years. PFAS projects are rarely simple “flip the switch” upgrades. Space constraints in existing plants, lean staffing, and the hidden cost of media changeouts (labor, downtime, waste handling, and scheduling complexity) all add risk. Add in the need to plan around strict target limits and variable influent chemistry, and it can be difficult to select media, size vessels, and forecast changeout cadence with confidence.

Ecolab, Purolite Resins offer high-selectivity and are designed to support practical, operator-friendly PFAS removal for municipal drinking water systems. In many applications, high-selectivity ion exchange can extend run times and reduce the number of changeouts, helping lower operational disruption and lifecycle cost, while also enabling shorter contact times that support compact system layouts.

Get confident in media selection, preliminary sizing, and expected throughput for informed decision making and budgeting.

Schedule a 20-minute consultation with a PFAS specialist to validate media selection, sizing assumptions, and changeout cadence.
