NSI news – PRESS RELEASE: Nijhuis Saur Industries and Axine Water Technologies Inc. Agree on Terms to Partner in PFAS Destruction with PFAS Destruct™ enabled by electraCLEAR™

The Future is Water: a transformational innovation
Frontrunners in delivering advanced water quality solutions, Nijhuis Saur Industries (NSI) and Axine are spearheading the scale-up and European market introduction of this breakthrough technology, completing Saur group’s extensive PFAS treatment and removal portfolio to meet the rapidly growing demand for PFAS-free water.

PFAS Destruct™ pushing water purification beyond limits
PFAS Destruct™ harnesses Axine’s advanced electrochemical oxidation technology electraCLEARTM, which completely dismantles PFAS compounds at a molecular level. In combination with traditional methods that concentrate contaminants, this groundbreaking solution ensures that >99.9+% destruction of both short- and long-chain PFAS contaminants, including ultra-short PFAS like TFA, which have long challenged the global water treatment industry.

This breakthrough offers a cost-effective, sustainable, and eco-friendly onsite alternative to conventional approaches to the secondary waste that is currently generated using activated carbon filtration or ion exchange resins, which often requires costly offsite disposal or incineration.

A strategic collaboration for a sustainable future
The NSI partnership with Axine represents a strategic expansion of Saur Group’s comprehensive portfolio for PFAS removal and concentration. By combining this next-generation technology with existing technologies within the NSI group such as ion exchange or membrane technologies, industries and municipalities can now achieve an integrated on-site and even mobile PFAS destruction solution for concentration and subsequent destruction of PFAS, thereby providing unmatched flexibility and sustainability in wastewater management.

Wilbert Menkveld, CTO of Nijhuis Saur Industries, shared his vision: “This collaboration marks a major milestone in our commitment to environmental sustainability. By uniting NSI’s deep industry expertise with Axine’s disruptive PFAS destruction technology, we are delivering the future of water treatment today—reliable, modular, scalable, and cost-effective solutions for decentralized wastewater treatment. PFAS Destruct™ with Axine’s electraCLEAR™ process is a true game-changer, eliminating PFAS at the speed of innovation.”

Mark Ralph, CEO of Axine Water Technologies, emphasized the impact: “For years, Axine has helped industries efficiently treat wastewater, enabling customers to focus on their core business. This partnership is a pivotal step forward in our mission to expand into Europe and other geographies. Together, we are introducing an unmatched, scalable solution for PFAS destruction. With electraCLEAR™, we are turning contamination into pure innovation.”

Redefining water treatment for a sustainable world
Menno M. Holterman, CEO of Nijhuis Saur Industries, concluded: “With this powerful collaboration, NSI and Axine Water Technologies are setting a new industry standard in sustainable water treatment. PFAS Destruct™ represents the ultimate force against PFAS contamination, ensuring a cleaner, safer future for our customers. Another inspiring example of our #missionwater commitment—to revolutionize PFAS elimination and contribute to the health and well-being of our planet.”
