Onterris (ECT2) provides engineered water and air treatment for emerging contaminants, especially PFAS, serving military, industrial, and government clients. Its approach combines custom system design, installation support, and ongoing operations and maintenance to remove contaminants. The core technology is a regenerable ion exchange resin that captures contaminants and can be cleaned and reused for years, offering higher capacity and less waste than traditional methods; it also offers patented FOAM-X foam fractionation for difficult wastes like landfill leachate. The goal is scalable, regulatory-compliant remediation that reduces waste and costs and expands global deployment of PFAS treatment technologies.
