PFAS destruction with Cold Reductive Plasma.
Black Spark has developed Cold Reductive Plasma (CRP), a pulsed plasma system that directly destroys PFAS in water.
CRP generates high-voltage plasma at the water surface to break down PFAS molecules rather than simply capturing or concentrating them for later disposal.
CRP destroys short-chain PFAS.
Short-chain PFAS are among the most difficult compounds to remove, concentrate, and destroy. CRP directly destroys short-chain PFAS, addressing compounds that remain challenging for both capture and destructive treatment technologies.
CRP breaks the scale barrier for destructive PFAS treatment.
CRP's modular plasma architecture scales to the flow rates required for direct treatment across aqueous matrices and PFAS concentration ranges, without requiring preconcentration.
This expands destructive treatment beyond the small-volume concentrated waste streams where most existing technologies are constrained.
CRP is modular and manufacturable.
CRP integrates the electrical system into repeatable PCB-based plasma modules, making large electrode arrays practical to manufacture and install at scale.
Pilot-scale CRP is operating.
Black Spark has completed construction of its pilot-scale CRP system and is now beginning application-specific validation across real-world PFAS waste streams.
We are looking for PFAS samples.
We are currently seeking real-world PFAS-containing waters for testing, including concentrated and complex streams, and welcome conversations with treatment facilities, technology providers, consultants, and site operators.
