SELMEXT focuses on removing heavy metals and helps recycle valuable materials like gold and other precious metals from waste.
SELPAXT removes both short- and long-chain PFAS substances from water.
SELPAXT removes more than 90% of both long and hard-to-capture short PFAS chains from water. It uses ultrafiltration and special chemical processes, making it ideal for treating water with high PFAS levels.
Both SELPAXT and SELMEXT focus on removing contaminants while minimizing waste through selective filtration.
Chromafora CEO Johan Seijmer said, “The EIB loan is a fantastic verification of our technology, as well as an enabler for faster expansion in Europe, In addition to Sweden, we have already established units in Belgium and will soon establish in more European markets. In both these countries and the neighbouring ones, there is a high demand for treating wastewater from PFAS.”
The company has developed portable water treatment systems that are easy to set up. These systems are mainly designed for industrial customers, such as landfill operators, in Belgium, Sweden, and other European countries.
EIB Vice-President Thomas Östros said, “This operation highlights our commitment to supporting clean-water technologies that benefit both the environment and public health, Chromafora’s innovation addresses a critical challenge while contributing to Europe’s transition to sustainable water systems.”
