Microplastics Removal
Advanced Water Treatment Solutions
PLOCK is an advanced, high-capacity filtration media engineered to rapidly remove PFAS compounds, including PFOS and PFOA, as well as harmful microplastics from water and liquid treatment systems. Developed for efficiency, reliability, and environmental safety, PLOCK provides a non-toxic and easy-to-maintain solution for a wide range of commercial, industrial, municipal, and environmental treatment applications.
Unlike traditional filtration systems that require constant maintenance and water-intensive backwashing procedures, PLOCK operates without backwashing, helping facilities reduce downtime, maintenance costs, and unnecessary water waste. Its specialized sponge-based structure is designed to maximize contaminant capture while maintaining consistent system performance and flow rates. Additionally, PLOCK ensures zero leaching, meaning contaminants remain securely trapped within the media after removal, helping support cleaner and safer discharge or reuse water systems.
What Are PFAS and Microplastics?
PFAS, commonly known as “forever chemicals,” are synthetic compounds used in countless industrial and consumer products due to their resistance to water, grease, oil, and heat. These chemicals are commonly found in firefighting foams, non-stick cookware, waterproof clothing, food packaging, stain-resistant fabrics, carpeting, and manufacturing processes. Because PFAS compounds do not easily break down in the environment, they can accumulate in soil, groundwater, stormwater systems, and drinking water supplies over time.
Microplastics are tiny plastic particles created through the breakdown of larger plastics and synthetic materials. These contaminants are increasingly being found in waterways, stormwater runoff, wastewater systems, industrial discharge, and even drinking water supplies. Their persistence in the environment has created growing concerns for municipalities, environmental agencies, and industrial facilities seeking effective treatment technologies.
PLOCK provides an innovative solution designed specifically to target and remove these emerging contaminants from water systems quickly and effectively.

Get Your Questions Answered Here!
What is PFAS
What is PFAS?
PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of man-made chemicals known for their persistence in the environment and potential to cause harmful health effects.
What does PFAS do to the body?
PFAS can accumulate in the body over time and may interfere with hormone function, weaken the immune system, and increase the risk of certain cancers and other health issues.
What items contain PFAS?
PFAS can be found in everyday items like nonstick cookware, waterproof clothing, food packaging, stain-resistant fabrics, and some firefighting foams.
How do I avoid PFAS?
To avoid PFAS, choose products labeled PFAS-free, limit use of nonstick cookware and treated fabrics, and avoid fast food packaging and microwave popcorn bags that may contain these chemicals.
