What EPOC Enviro does
EPOC Enviro is an Australian environmental engineering company founded in 2014 that develops and commercializes Surface Active Foam Fractionation (SAFF) technology for PFAS ("forever chemicals") remediation from water, wastewater, biosolids, and landfill leachate. The company's core innovation is a physical separation process that uses rising air bubbles to adsorb PFAS compounds at the air-water interface, capturing them as a foam layer that is then removed as a hyper-concentrated PFAS waste stream. Unlike conventional adsorbent-based methods, SAFF requires no consumables (no granular activated carbon or ion exchange resin) and produces no secondary waste other than the PFAS concentrate, yielding concentration factors of up to 3.5 million times and the lowest OPEX of any PFAS remediation technology on the market, with treatment costs independent of influent PFAS concentration.
EPOC offers a modular product family spanning three containerized or skid-based systems — the SAFF10 compact modular unit (up to 10 m3/hr), the SAFF20 (10–20 m3/hr), and the SAFF40 flagship (20–40 m3/hr) — plus the SAFF Hyper-Concentrator add-on that integrates with multiple SAFF40 units to maximize concentration factors. Complementary technologies include PFAST for soil remediation and PFAIT for infrastructure such as firefighting appliances and storage tanks. As of mid-2026, the technology has been deployed at more than 60 sites across four continents, with 45 SAFF systems in operation and 8 more in the production pipeline, treating over 1.8 billion litres of PFAS-impacted water cumulatively since the first commercial deployment at the Army Aviation Centre Oakey, Queensland in May 2019.
The company generates revenue through three channels: direct equipment sales to enterprise and government clients, a per-gallon managed service through the 4never closed-loop joint venture with Heritage Crystal Clean, Allonnia, and Revive Environmental (covering separation, transport, and PFAS Annihilator destruction), and technology licensing to international distributors. EPOC distributes globally through exclusive regional partners — Allonnia (North America), Envytech (Scandinavia), Cornelsen (UK), GIOTTO SERVICE and Erica (Italy), Balass Bros (Israel), Helia EHS (Australasia), and MATSUBO Corporation (Japan) — supplemented by direct sales for key enterprise and government accounts. Manufacturing occurs in Emu Plains, Sydney and Mooresville, North Carolina, with a planned major US facility in Statesville, NC targeting 150 units annually and up to 225 staff. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of OPEC Systems, an Australian contracting group established in 1992.

EPOC Enviro product offering
Product offeringCore offering
EPOC Enviro develops and sells the SAFF (Surface Active Foam Fractionation) family of modular and containerized PFAS remediation systems. The process uses rising air bubbles to physically separate and concentrate PFAS compounds from contaminated water, producing a concentrated stream for subsequent treatment or destruction. Its commercial portfolio includes SAFF10, SAFF20, SAFF40 and the SAFF Hyper-Concentrator.
Product overview
EPOC Enviro offers a suite of SAFF® (Surface Active Foam Fractionation) PFAS remediation technologies based on a core patented foam fractionation process. The product family includes SAFF10 (compact modular unit for low/variable flows), SAFF20 (containerized for lower flow sites), SAFF40 (flagship workhorse for high-volume sites), and the SAFF Hyper-Concentrator (add-on enhancement module that integrates with SAFF40 units to maximize concentration factors). Additionally, the 4never™ sub-brand provides a complete closed-loop solution by combining SAFF technology with partner destruction systems. All SAFF products use the same fundamental surface-active foam fractionation process where rising air bubbles separate PFAS molecules from water, producing only PFAS hyper-concentrate as waste.

EPOC Enviro competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- CycloPure: CycloPure (a De Nora company) develops adsorbent polymer technologies for removing PFAS from drinking water and wastewater. It is a direct competitor to SAFF in PFAS removal from aqueous streams, though using adsorption media rather than foam fractionation.
- 374Water: 374Water deploys supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) systems for PFAS destruction, and is developing AirSCWO and other platforms targeting PFAS-impacted water and biosolids. Direct competitor on the PFAS treatment value chain, addressing destruction where SAFF integrates with destruction partners like Revive.
- Revive Environmental: Revive Environmental (part of Battelle) operates the PFAS Annihilator destruction technology and is EPOC's 4never consortium partner. Comparable as a PFAS treatment technology provider serving the same landfill leachate, industrial, and government customers, with overlap on destruction rather than separation.
Broad incumbents
- Calgon Carbon: Calgon Carbon (a Kuraray company) is a major manufacturer of granular activated carbon (GAC) and other adsorbents widely used for PFAS removal in municipal water treatment. Comparable as a legacy incumbent whose consumables-based approach SAFF explicitly displaces.
- Veolia: Veolia is a global water, waste, and environmental services major with PFAS remediation offerings across municipal and industrial customers. It is a broader incumbent that competes for the same end-customer contracts but across a much wider portfolio of services.
- Xylem: Xylem is a global water technology company offering advanced treatment, monitoring, and reuse solutions (including through its acquisition of Evoqua). Comparable as a broad water-tech incumbent serving municipal and industrial PFAS-impacted customers with packaged treatment trains.
- Clean Harbors: Clean Harbors is a leading North American provider of environmental and industrial services including hazardous waste management, site remediation, and PFAS response. Broad incumbent serving overlapping landfill leachate, industrial, and government/defence customers with a services-led (rather than technology-led) model.
Others
- AECOM: AECOM is a global infrastructure consulting firm with PFAS remediation expertise (including its DeFlouro electrochemical oxidation technology paired with SAFF at Tablyn Park, MN). Comparable as a partner and integrated delivery lead for PFAS projects, rather than as a direct product competitor.
- Allonnia: Allonnia is EPOC's exclusive North American distributor for SAFF and a 4never consortium partner, focused on bio-ingenuity solutions that extract value from waste. Adjacent rather than competing — Allonnia both sells SAFF and develops its own complementary separation technologies.
- Heritage-Crystal Clean: Heritage-Crystal Clean (Nasdaq: HCCI) is the exclusive operator/distributor of the 4never closed-loop PFAS service in North America. It is a partner and operator that places and runs SAFF units on customer sites and transports concentrate, rather than a competing PFAS technology vendor.
