Geyser Remediation LLC (also known as Aqualumos) develops photocatalysis-based technology to destroy toxic PFAS chemicals in water, providing an integrative solution for water utilities to cost-effectively remove contaminants.
Geyser Remediation LLC is a company focused on developing technology to eliminate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as forever chemicals, from water systems. The company utilizes photocatalysis-based technology designed to break down these toxic substances, aiming to provide an integrative solution for water utilities and manufacturers. Unlike traditional filtration methods that merely separate PFAS and create secondary waste streams, such as toxic sludge or impregnated media requiring further disposal, this approach seeks to destroy the contaminants and permanently remove them from the ecosystem.
The company was formed in 2019 following research initiated during a chemical engineering senior design project at the University of Connecticut. Its primary mission is to prevent PFAS-related health risks by ensuring these chemicals do not reach drinking water supplies. By integrating with existing utility infrastructure, the technology aims to help providers cost-effectively meet regulatory requirements. The organization has been supported by various programs, including fellowship initiatives at the University of Connecticut, as it advances its timeline for technology development and production readiness. On its website, the company is also referred to as Aqualumos.
