PFAS SOLUTIONS

• Future-Proof PFAS Treatment

  1/27/2026

  Navigating the evolving landscape of PFAS regulations is a challenge. With ongoing federal and state lawsuits, CERCLA challenges, and debates surrounding the EPA’s PFAS drinking water standards, the regulatory environment is changing rapidly. However, one thing remains clear: We must prepare for compliance.

• MitiGATOR Mobile System

  12/3/2025

  Evoqua’s MitiGATOR™ mobile systems are designed to provide rapid response to customers who have contaminated potable water.

  The MitiGATOR system can be configured specifically for local water chemistry at various sites, including:

  • Municipal Drinking Water Systems
  • Military Bases and Housing
  • Drinking Water Wells
  • Surface Water

  Applications

  Evoqua’s MitiGATOR™ mobile systems are designed to provide rapid response to customers who have contaminated potable water. The MitiGATOR system can take advantage of tight spaces in all weather conditions, making its self-contained climate-controlled interior effective in any region.

  Evoqua’s MitiGATOR system can connect directly to the source water. The influent runs through a vessel system with media chosen specifically in response to the water's chemistry. The water leaving the system will meet treatment goals.

  Installation, Startup and Operation

  The MitiGATOR units are shipped as insulated trailers with two bag filters followed by six media vessels, with plumbing and instrumentation. The enclosed trailers require minimal field assembly and site connections.

  Evoqua can provide a total service package that can integrate the MitiGATOR trailers with additional water cleanup systems to include interconnecting piping, and automated temperature, pressure, and flow monitoring. Evoqua’s team of expert operators are OSHA-trained and capable of providing onsite system operation and maintenance.

  Evoqua's mobile MitiGATOR system can be provided as a stand-alone treatment for contaminated water or as part of a fully integrated treatment system.

• Fast, Adaptable Solutions For Urgent Contaminant Issues

  11/30/2025

  Rapid-response ion exchange systems provide short-term treatment for PFAS and other contaminants immediately, keeping communities safe and operations uninterrupted.

• PFAS, PFOA & PFOS Contaminant Treatment Solutions

  11/25/2025

  Polyfluroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS, are man-made chemicals found in many everyday items. You can find them in products such as fast-food wrappers, stain-resistant fabrics, non-stick cookware and firefighting foams, among others. 

  PFAS, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perflurooctane sulfonate (PFOS) - collectively known as PFAS, has been detected in rivers, lakes, streams, aquifers, municipal and private wells, impacting drinking and process water. 

  Based on the newly proposed EPA PFAS National Primary Drinking Water Regulation, Xylem’s MitiGATOR™ mobile system and our permanent treatment systems are capable of meeting the updated requirements. Additionally, the EPA pre-publication notice recognizes granular activated carbon (GAC) and ion exchange resin as Best Available Technologies (BAT) for PFAS treatment.  

  Proven Solutions for PFAS Mitigation

  We are solutions-based, whether you are a municipal customer or an industrial partner. That means we focus on treating PFAS in water rather than selling you a specific product. We provide the most effective solutions based on your water and treatment goals. Whether you need permanent, emergency, mobile, and/or rental solutions, we offer flexible financing options to meet your needs. 

  Municipal Drinking Water Producers
  We offer comprehensive PFAS removal for municipal drinking water applications. From initial discovery and consultation through installation and ongoing operational support, we leverage our expertise and proven success to achieve targeted treatment goals for communities of all sizes nationwide.  

  One notable example is our collaboration with a New Hampshire community, where we worked with the town from testing through installation to ensure their treatment objectives were met. 

  Whether you serve millions or hundreds, we can offer assistance and expertise from the moment you discover PFAS in your water. After reviewing water quality testing results, we can design and deploy pilot tests or rapid small-scale column tests (RSSCT) using the best media suited for your specific water chemistry and treatment goals. 

  What rapid response solutions does Xylem have to mitigate PFAS? 

  • Emergency mobile solutions like our MitiGATOR™ mobile system
  • Short-term rental units 
  • Long-term rental units and lease-to-own 

  If you can’t shut down your contaminated water source, we can respond quickly with emergency mobile units. These can be purchased for long-term use or provide contaminant removal while a more permanent solution is being designed. We also offer short-term mobile units for rent, which can be used on-site for a specific duration, or longer-term mobile placements for projects on a contract basis. 

  As a technology-agnostic provider, we can design the most effective systems to meet or exceed your treatment goals, utilizing a wide variety of media and vessel options. Xylem can partner with municipalities directly and/or engineering firms to seamlessly integrate our solutions into existing systems, tailoring our designs to meet site-specific requirements such as footprint and height. 

  Airports and Military Bases
  Airports and military bases are actively working to remove PFAS and other contaminants from groundwater and soil left from decades of firefighting training exercises. Some states are even awarding grants specifically for PFAS testing and cleanup at airports. We have successful installations on airfields, military bases and within the aerospace industry. Additionally, our soil remediation solutions can be implemented alongside groundwater remediation efforts ensuring
  we meet maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) and other treatment goals.

  Construction and Commercial Dewatering
  For short-term or project-based site remediation related to contaminated groundwater, we offer proven mobile solutions. We can schedule for planned projects or respond to emergency needs with our fleet of mobile assets. From mitigating high water tables to removing contaminants such as PFAS from site groundwater we provide expertise and proven solutions.

  Industrial Water
  Industrial wastewater often requires treatment for PFAS and other contaminants prior to municipal discharge. Among a wide variety of industrial wastewater solutions, we provide ion exchange media and services which mitigate metals and other inorganics as well as contaminants like PFAS. 

  With one of the nation's largest and most versatile mobile fleets, and a wide array of permanent vessel systems we can meet or exceed both treatment goals and expectations across a wide range of municipal and industrial markets.

• Navigate PFAS With Confidence: Your Complete Guide To Mitigation Solutions

  11/12/2025

  Xylem’s comprehensive PFAS Resource Guide is designed to help municipal and industrial water producers navigate the complex landscape of PFAS (Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) mitigation. With the EPA’s April 2024 release of the first-ever national, legally enforceable drinking water standard for PFAS—and upcoming compliance deadlines in 2027 and 2029—utilities face increasing pressure to understand and address these persistent contaminants. PFAS are synthetic chemicals found in everyday products that resist degradation and pose risks to water quality and public health.

  The guide consolidates Xylem’s extensive experience and solutions in treating PFAS and emerging contaminants. It features infographics, case studies, videos, webinars, and product information—such as the newly launched MitiGATOR™ mobile unit—to support utilities from initial detection through treatment implementation. Whether for emergency response, pilot testing, or long-term remediation, the guide offers a clear path to achieving non-detect levels of PFAS in source water.
