    With our Lewatit® ion exchange resins and the first mobile plant of De Watergroep, we are contributing to the removal of PFAS from water. Stay up-to-date by following our Showcase Page LANXESS Water Treatment & Liquid Purification and get further information clicking the link below.

    LANXESS has equipped the first mobile plant of De Watergroep for the removal of PFAS from water with its Lewatit® TP 108 DW ion exchange resin. The fully modular water treatment unit is located in the region Brussels, Belgium, and can purify up to 190,000 liters of drinking water per hour. Since May 2024, the Belgian company De Watergroep has been operating the containerized water treatment plant on site. It will be used for at least two years, after which the plan is to switch to alternative water sources with lower PFAS levels. The objective is to permanently reduce the PFAS contamination of drinking water in Flanders to below 50 ppt and thus increase the quality of the water. More info: https://di-ri.co/XLfx0
