a project to join

Hydrogenium is a Dutch water technology innovator specialising in the development of biobased adsorbent materials for PFAS removal from contaminated water.

Our PFAS BioFilter uses modified cellulose-based materials derived from residual biomass streams. The technology enables passive, energy-free adsorption of PFAS and is designed for applications in surface water, groundwater remediation and industrial water treatment.

The technology has demonstrated over 97% PFOS removal in controlled experiments and a 55% reduction in PFOS concentration during a 52-day field pilot.

Our expertise includes adsorbent development, material optimisation, passive filtration systems and laboratory and field-scale validation.

Topic 2. Nature-Based Approaches for Resilient Water Management at Hydrological and Hydrogeological System Scale
Topic 3. Smart, Secure and Adaptive Water Infrastructures for Sustainable Water Management

Hydrogenium is seeking to join an international Water4All 2026 research and innovation consortium as an SME technology development and demonstration partner.

We aim to contribute our PFAS BioFilter technology to collaborative research focused on sustainable water management, emerging contaminant removal and water quality improvement.

Potential research activities include evaluating PFAS adsorption under different water conditions, optimising biobased filter materials, investigating long-term filtration performance and integrating passive filtration into existing water treatment and water management infrastructure.

Hydrogenium can contribute its existing technology, experimental results, material development expertise and practical experience from laboratory and field demonstrations.

We welcome collaboration with universities, research institutes, water utilities, water authorities and industrial partners working towards scalable, energy-efficient and sustainable solutions for PFAS-contaminated water.
