Photon Water is dedicated to delivering advanced water treatment and environmental remediation solutions.
The company’s vision, making clean water accessible to all, guides the development of technologies that ensure access to safe, affordable and clean water globally.
Aligned with AquaConSoil’s mission of integrated soil and water management, Photon Water provides a full spectrum of water treatment solutions, from groundwater and soil remediation to advanced water purification systems for industry and municipalities.
Company Background
Photon Water was founded in 2016 and has offices in Europe and Australia, with global operations. Its focus on soil and water remediation led to the recent establishment of the Photon Remediation brand, dedicated to addressing soil and water pollution, including PFAS contamination.
Photon Water and Photon Remediation are part of the Photon Energy Group, which also includes Photon Energy, a provider of solar energy and energy storage systems. This synergy enables us to offer integrated, solar-powered water treatment and remediation systems, ideal for off-grid and remote locations.
Our work is rooted in rigorous science and innovation, supported by collaborations with universities, international experts and participation in environmental R&D frameworks.
Our team actively participates in multiple grant-funded R&D initiatives across Europe and beyond, including:
- LIFE4ZOO (2023–2027), where Photon Water leads the design and implementation of sustainable water reuse technologies in urban zoos.
- PFAS_TECH (2023–2026), a project coordinated by Photon Water, focusing on advanced in-situ PFAS remediation and drinking water treatment.
- EiCLaR, LIFEPOPWAT and Smart System for Phosphorus Precipitation, addressing contaminants such as pesticides, chlorinated solvents and phosphorus.
- Voucher 2023, which supports biosensor development for real-time water remediation monitoring.
We also support our customers through grant collaboration, identifying funding opportunities, preparing project documentation and building consortia at both national and European levels.
Innovative Solutions & Contributions
Photon Water and Photon Remediation offer solutions across the full spectrum of water quality management and environmental contamination, with a strong focus on PFAS.
Our services
Remediation of Contaminated Land and Groundwater
We offer a range of remediation methods tailored to site-specific conditions. Among them, our proprietary in-situ nanoremediation stands out as a highly effective, low-impact solution for persistent pollutants.
This method combines zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) with electrochemical enhancement to improve degradation of contaminants in groundwater. The electric field increases nanoparticle mobility and reactivity, enabling efficient breakdown while minimizing site disruption.
Successful applications:
- Jervis Bay, Australia – Achieved 99% PFAS reduction with no harmful by-products; compliant with NEMP 3.0 standards
- Solvay, Spain – Delivered up to 90% PCE reduction using our Electro-Nano-Bioremediation (ENB) system
Municipal and Industrial Water Treatment & Recycling
We deliver automated, custom-engineered treatment systems that, where suitable, can be provided as containerized units for fast deployment.
Our water treatment solutions:
- TecPFAS™ – PFAS removal using membranes, electrosorption, and ion exchange
- TecPOOL™ – Recovery and reuse of backwash water in public pools
- Drinking water treatment for municipalities, hotels and other facilities, meeting EU and national standards
- TecPHOS™ – Phosphorus precipitation from surface waters
Successful application:
At Jihostroj manufacturing facility (Czech Republic) our system achieved >99.5% PFAS removal and 70% water recycling. It is monitored via the Photon Matic platform and our proprietary site information system.
Decontamination of Fire Suppression Systems Containing PFAS
Photon Water provides solutions for industrial fire suppression systems using aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), a common PFAS-based agent.
We handle safe replacement, collection, disposal and in-situ decontamination of tanks and piping. This supports compliance with new EU regulations phasing out PFAS in firefighting foams.
Lake and Surface Water Management
We offer environmentally sensitive solutions to improve water quality, including ultrasonic algae control and other tailored methods that restore balance and reduce cyanobacteria and green algae growth.
Commitment to AquaConSoil 2025
As a returning sponsor of AquaConSoil, Photon Water looks forward to engaging with the conference community and sharing our expertise in water treatment and environmental remediation.
We are particularly interested in exploring collaboration opportunities in drinking water treatment, wastewater reuse and soil and groundwater remediation, especially in the context of persistent organic contaminants such as PFAS.
