KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 1 (Bernama) -- Gradiant, a global leader in advanced water and wastewater treatment, announced its ForeverGone technology has been named one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2024.

According to Gradiant in a statement, it has been recognised as the industry’s only all-in-one solution to permanently eliminate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals” in municipal and industrial water, without the risk of leaking toxic chemicals into the environment.

Gradiant Chief Operating Officer, Prakash Govindan said ForeverGone is different from anything in the marketplace as it completely solves the challenge of PFAS contamination.

“ForeverGone is precisely the disruptive innovation the industry has been calling for. We appreciate TIME’s recognition of our invention and its ability to equip municipalities and industrial users worldwide to eliminate PFAS from nature, forever,” he said.

PFAS contamination in water supplies and ecosystems has been linked to cancers, immune disorders, and developmental issues, posing a global public health concern.

Gradiant’s ForeverGone technology, independently validated by multiple accredited laboratories, pairs Micro-Foam Fractionation and Destruction Engine to concentrate PFAS into a micro-foam and then destroy it using electro-oxidation, delivering water that meets or exceeds the latest United States Environmental Protection Agency drinking water standards.

This integrated approach sets new standards for simplicity, efficiency, and sustainability, delivering comprehensive PFAS removal at the lowest total cost.

Gradiant is rapidly expanding the use of ForeverGone across industries such as semiconductors, food & beverage, mining, and major municipalities, ensuring PFAS remediation becomes more accessible to communities worldwide.

Each year, TIME recognises 200 groundbreaking innovations that are changing lives worldwide, and award winners are sourced from nominations by TIME’s editors and correspondents worldwide, as well as an application process, and are chosen for their originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact.
