Gradiant: Water Reuse, PFAS & ZLD for Semiconductors

Overview

Company Background
Founded in 2013 from MIT, Gradiant is a global leader in water treatment solutions, headquartered in Boston with 288 approved and pending patents. In 2022, Gradiant acquired Taiwan’s WaterPark, a spinoff from ITRI’s wastewater team, strengthening its APAC presence with local R&D expertise.

Technology Advantages
Gradiant offers a unique portfolio of patented solutions:

  • CFRO: patented brine concentration, achieving up to 260,000 mg/L TDS at ≤69 bar while delivering high-quality water.

  • Bio-Infinity: advanced biological treatment (UASB, AFB, MBBR, ultrasound) for tough organics.

  • SCE with FBC: selective chemical extraction for fluoride, heavy metals, and hardness.

  • ForeverGone: PFAS destruction.

  • HyperSolved: an integrated cooling water solution for data centers and AI infrastructures

  • CGE: efficient thermal brine concentration.

Sustainability Mission
As AI accelerates demand across the semiconductor ecosystem, Gradiant helps customers use water more intelligently and sustainably. We reduce freshwater consumption, increase recovery and reuse, and support stronger, more resilient green supply chains. For fabs, this translates into high water recycling rates, lower operating costs, improved ESG performance, and a more sustainable production footprint.

Future Outlook
Gradiant will continue evolving its technologies to meet the needs of the AI-driven era. We are advancing PFAS removal, ZLD optimization, smart water management, and next-generation contaminant control, while working closely with partners in Taiwan to support the full ecosystem shaping the future of semiconductors and AI infrastructure.

  Products

  • FOREVERGONE-for permanent PFAS destruction
    ForeverGone is Gradiant’s all-in-one PFAS solution, combining Micro-Foam Fractionation and electro-oxidation to concentrate, remove, and permanently destroy PFAS, delivering compliant water with lower cost, simpler operation, and reduced disposal needs....

  • ForeverGone is a complete all-in-one solution to permanently remove and destroy PFAS.

    The current best available technologies for PFAS treatment merely concentrate or transfer wastes from one medium to another, necessitating further handling and transportation for ultimate disposal by landfilling or incineration.

    Gradiant’s ForeverGone pairs two proven technologies, Micro-Foam Fractionation and Destruction Engine, to produce water that meets or exceeds the recently announced latest US EPA drinking water standards for PFAS. Micro-Foam Fractionation separates PFAS into a highly concentrated micro-foam optimized for removal. The Destruction Engine uses electro-oxidation to permanently eliminate the full range of PFAS chemicals from the micro-foamate. The integrated solution achieves comprehensive PFAS removal at the lowest total cost, setting new standards for simplicity, efficiency, and sustainability.

  • RO Infinity with CFRO
    CFRO for High-Recovery Brine Concentration...

  • Gradiant’s Counterflow Reverse Osmosis (CFRO) is a membrane-based brine concentration technology that helps industrial facilities recover more water, minimize liquid waste, and cut the cost of MLD and ZLD, without relying on energy-intensive thermal systems.


    Conventional RO stalls at high salinity. Thermal evaporators and crystallizers can handle concentrated brines but are costly, energy-hungry, and complex to run.


    CFRO closes the gap. A multi-stage counterflow design with controlled salt passage lowers the osmotic pressure barrier, concentrating brine at lower pressure and lower energy than thermal alternatives. SmartOps AI and CURE chemistries manage scaling and fouling to keep systems running reliably as conditions change.


    For facilities facing water scarcity, tight discharge limits, high disposal costs, or MLD/ZLD requirements, CFRO pushes membrane concentration further, allowing you to shrink or eliminate the thermal footprint.

  • BIO CAPTURE
    Gradiant BioCapture MBBR. Porous, compressible carrier material provides a large surface area for attachment and growth of microorganisms. The effluent discharge quality is stable and of high quality in a wide range of feedwater flows and conditions....
