BOSTON, Massachusetts – April 04, 2025 - Gradiant, a global leader in advanced water and wastewater treatment, today announced that its ForeverGone solution was honored at the 2025 Edison Awards with the Gold award. This prestigious recognition highlights Gradiant’s leadership in sustainability and technological innovation, reinforcing its commitment to addressing PFAS contamination, one of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or “forever chemicals,” are persistent synthetic chemicals found in industrial, municipal, and landfill waters. Linked to serious health risks such as cancer, immune disorders, and developmental issues, PFAS have become a global public health crisis. Gradiant’s ForeverGone is the industry’s first integrated solution that not only removes PFAS from contaminated water sources but also permanently destroys them on-site, without the risk of releasing toxic chemicals back into the environment.

The Edison Awards, now in their 38th year, recognize excellence in new product and service development, marketing, design, and innovation. Inspired by the legacy of Thomas Edison, the awards celebrate the persistence and excellence exemplified by Thomas Edison and his Menlo Park team. Finalists are selected by an independent panel of experts, including scientists, engineers, and business leaders from around the world. 

“For years, industries and municipalities have struggled with how to fully eliminate PFAS without creating additional risks to the environment,” said Anurag Bajpayee, CEO of Gradiant. “ForeverGone finally provides a true end-to-end solution — one that concentrates and destroys PFAS at the source, ensuring these harmful chemicals are removed from nature permanently. This recognition from the Edison Awards affirms the transformative impact of our technology and our mission to deliver clean water solutions at a global scale.”

Gradiant’s ForeverGone technology, independently validated by multiple accredited laboratories, pairs Micro-Foam Fractionation and Destruction Engine to concentrate PFAS into a micro-foamate and then destroy it using electro-oxidation, delivering water that meets or exceeds the latest US EPA 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 deploying ForeverGone across industries including semiconductors, food & beverage, mining, and major municipalities, ensuring PFAS remediation becomes more accessible to communities worldwide.
