Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are now recognised as one of the most pressing environmental challenges worldwide. Often referred to as “forever chemicals”, PFAS resist natural breakdown and are increasingly detected in soil, drinking water, and even the human body. Activated carbon, with its highly porous structure and excellent adsorption capabilities, has proven to be one of the most effective solutions for capturing PFAS and other persistent contaminants. Bygen’s Activated...

Australia’s wastewater sector faces increasing challenges from persistent pollutants such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Often referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their resistance to natural degradation, PFAS represent one of the most critical issues in wastewater management today. Regulatory agencies are now tightening standards to safeguard public health and the environment. Reflecting the urgency of the issue, Australia’s Industrial Chemicals Environmental Management...

Activated carbon is a highly porous material with a large internal surface area, making it exceptionally effective at adsorbing a wide range of contaminants, impurities, and odours. It’s widely used in water treatment, industrial processing, and chemical recovery. The performance of activated carbon, however, depends on the format selected - either granular activated carbon (GAC) or powdered activated carbon (PAC). GAC and PAC differ significantly in both structure and application. In water...
