About
SPUMA, from innovation to solution
SPUMA is proud to have successfully developed the first international patent for a biosourced and biodegradable additive linked to a flotation process to treat PFAS in water systems.
As an alternative to more expensive and energy-intensive membrane filters, the SPUMA innovation reduces costs by a factor of 3 to 5 compared with this type of solution, and will be on the market in 2024. Aimed initially at the needs of local authorities and industry (wastewater and groundwater), the solution will then be adapted for use in wastewater treatment plants. SPUMA is also working on an end to end solution with a joint team from 𝗖𝗘𝗔 and 𝗖𝗡𝗥𝗦 to completely degrade PFAS without creating waste.
The vision
SPUMA’s ambition is to become one of the world’s leading players in the fight to eradicate PFAS pollution by developing technologies that are economical, simple, robust, environmentally friendly and suitable for all market configurations.
At the end of 2023, SPUMA was awarded the 1st international patent by INPI for a biological and biodegradable additive linked to a flotation process and is recognized by the WIPO label, an international organization for intellectual property rights and the protection of proprietary intellectual content.
