PFAS are durable chemicals used across various industries, but their environmental persistence and potential health impacts have made their presence in water sources a significant concern. PFAS exposure can occur through contaminated food, water, air, and products, leading to potential risks to human health and the environment.

A study in Woodbury, MN, where PFAS contamination is a known issue, demonstrated Arium® Comfort I UV ability to consistently reduce PFAS to undetectable levels. The system proved effective not only for potable water but also for highly contaminated solutions (up to ppb-level range), highlighting its adaptability to various contamination levels.

Sartorius' Arium^® Comfort I UV Water Purification System:

• Addresses Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) contamination in water sources.
• Employs a combination of activated carbon, reverse osmosis, and resin ion exchange to reduce PFAS levels in tap water, lowering their concentrations to undetectable levels (ppt).
• Designed for efficiency and user-friendliness, featuring an iJust control unit. Suitable for a range of laboratory applications demanding high water quality.
• Provides ultrapure water for analytical laboratories and sensitive applications.

In summary, the Arium^® Comfort I UV by Sartorius is a robust solution for laboratories needing to address PFAS contamination. Its advanced purification technology, which integrates activated carbon, reverse osmosis, and ion exchange resin, delivers ultrapure water, meeting the needs of analytical laboratories and ensuring safe and reliable water for sensitive applications.
