Mellifiq’s Mobile PFAS System Commissioned with Promising Initial Results

As a follow-up to the pilot project with Kramfors Municipality, Mellifiq announces that its mobile Axopur® system is now fully commissioned on site. Initial testing has begun and water samples have been collected, showing highly promising results at first glance.

The project aims to evaluate advanced PFAS treatment of leachate from one of Kramfors’ municipal waste facilities. The installation features a mobile, fully automated electrocoagulation system based on Mellifiq’s Axopur® technology. The unit also allows for testing of different electrode materials to determine the most effective configuration for the specific water composition. The focus is on reducing concentrations of PFAS, heavy metals, and phosphorus, while also minimizing chemical use and operational costs.

“It is encouraging to see such strong results already at this early stage. We are now entering the next phase, where we will gradually assess the system’s performance under different operational conditions. Our goal is to contribute to a long-term, sustainable solution for leachate treatment,” says Patrik Kvist, Ph.D., Process Engineer at Mellifiq.

The pilot project is being conducted in two stages to evaluate performance across seasonal variations. The positive outcome so far strengthens the case for a future full-scale facility in Kramfors, positioning the municipality as a front-runner in sustainable leachate management.
