O-Series PFAS Optimisation & Retrofit Consulting

The Challenge

Your PFAS Treatment Reality

Uncertain Costs

• Are you paying too much for PFAS removal?

• Hidden inefficiencies in current operations.

• Unclear total cost of ownership.

Performance Gaps

• Sub-optimal media utilisation.

• Ineffective changeout strategies.

• Regulatory compliance risks.

Limited Future-Proofing

• Locked into outdated technology.

• No clear upgrade pathway.

• Tightening regulations ahead.

The O-Series provides clarity, optimisation, and a roadmap to regenerable Ion Exchange (IX) and advanced destruction.

Our Solution Framework

Evidence-Based Optimisation in Four Stages

BASELINE → UPGRADE PATH → RETROFIT → OPTIMISE

• Know Your Costs: Benchmark current performance and identify immediate savings.

• Design Your Future: Feasibility and business case for regenerable systems.

• Execute Retrofit: Full design pack and implementation support.

• Continuous Improvement: Ongoing performance monitoring and cost control.

Flexible entry points - start where you are, move at your pace.

O-Series Tier 1 - Foundation & Quick Wins

Understand Your Baseline, Capture Immediate Value

O0.1 & 0.2 - Existing PFAS Capture Triage Call

• Duration: 30-45 minutes.

• Deliverable: Indicative savings and recommended next step.

• Value: Often free for target accounts; otherwise, £0-£500 (creditable).

O1 - PFAS Capture Cost Benchmark & Quick Wins

What You Get:

• Baseline cost model vs best-practice IX/regenerable IX.

• Contracts, invoices, and system design review.

• "No-regret" operational improvements identified.

• 6–10-page memo + 60-min results call.

Investment: Contact us for pricing.

• Typical ROI: Payback in months through optimized changeout frequency and vendor renegotiation.

Key acronym clarifications: IX = Ion Exchange; PFAS = Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances.

O-Series Tier 2 - Strategic Upgrade Path

O2 - PFAS toolbox - Treatment Upgrade Feasibility

The Opportunity: Move from single-use media and disposal to regeneration and achieve 50-80% cost reduction.

What You Receive:

• Process review (hydraulics, vessels, footprint) – on-site or virtual.

• Possible upgrade scenarios:

  -GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) → regenerable IX.

  -Polish IX after RO/NF (Reverse Osmosis/Nanofiltration).

  -EboNext (Advanced Electrochemical Oxidation) pre-treatment where applicable.

  -Foam fractionation after 'conditioning' pass

  -Upgrade to PFAS specific capture media

• CAPEX (Capital Expenditure)/OPEX (Operating Expenditure) ranges, payback analysis, NPV (Net Present Value).

• Compliance implications and risk assessment.

• 15–25-page feasibility report + stakeholder workshop.

Investment: Contact us for pricing (part-creditable against O3).

Business Case Support: Board-ready financial models and regulatory compliance roadmap.

O-Series Tier 3 - Implementation & Delivery

O3 - PFAS Capture Retrofit & Regeneration Design Pack

From Concept to Construction-Ready

Detailed Engineering Deliverables:

• IX retrofit design with regenerant handling and regeneration loops.

• Sizing of all equipment: cycle volumes, distillation duty, waste routing.

• "Before vs after" lifecycle cost model with sensitivities.

• Inputs to RFQs (Requests for Quotation)/tenders and board-ready business case.

Investment: Contact us for pricing.

Risk Mitigation:

• De-risked procurement process.

• Vendor-neutral specifications.

• Performance guarantees framework.

Outcome: Deployable retrofit with clear ROI and compliance pathway.

O-Series Tier 4 - Continuous Optimisation

O4 - PFAS Capture Performance Optimisation & Cost Monitoring

Ongoing Assurance & Value Protection

What's Included:

• Periodic performance and cost reviews (single or multi-site).

• Operating window tuning and regeneration strategy optimisation.

• Live dashboards for operators and management.

• Support for re-bids and regulatory submissions.

Flexible Retainer Options:

• Light: Contact us for pricing – quarterly reviews.

• Standard: Contact us for pricing – monthly optimisation.

• Strategic: Contact us for pricing – multi-site program management.

Value Delivery:

• Sustained cost reduction.

• Regulatory compliance confidence.

• Performance bench-marking across portfolio.

• Early warning of system degradation.

Where Are You Now?

Choose Your Starting Point:

• Already treating PFAS but unsure of true cost →

• Know costs are high; considering upgrade options →

• Committed to upgrading to regenerable IX or new trains →

• Running upgraded systems and want continuous optimisation →

All paths are creditable – Investment in earlier tiers credited against later stages.
