Aquagga destroys toxic PFAS with HALT technology
Aquagga uses HALT technology to break down toxic PFAS in water, offering a safe, effective solution for industrial cleanup and environmental protection.
Aquagga is confronting the global challenge of toxic PFAS contamination with its groundbreaking solution: HALT, or hydrothermal alkaline treatment.
HALT breaks down even the toughest chemicals
Using hot, pressurized water and high pH levels, HALT destroys the strong carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS—eliminating up to 99.99% of them without creating harmful byproducts.
A new approach to industrial and environmental cleanup
Aquagga's technology can operate on industrial sites or in polluted environments, turning contaminated water into discharge-safe streams. It’s a game-changer for continuous PFAS removal.
Innovation backed by science and global support
HALT was developed with research from the University of Washington and the Colorado School of Mines. Aquagga is supported by the UpLink and HCL Group’s Aquapreneur Innovation Initiative, part of efforts to boost global freshwater conservation.
