instrAction produces high-performance absorber resins for PFAS removal, water filtration, and precious metal recovery.
instrAction GmbH develops and manufactures high-performance absorber resins for PFAS removal, advanced water filtration, and environmental contaminant control. These proprietary resins are designed to selectively bind harmful substances such as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), toxic heavy metals, and precious metals in water and industrial systems.
instrAction’s mission is to support public health, environmental protection, and sustainable resource management with precision-engineered solutions.
Molecular precision for PFAS filtration
instrAction resins are built on a stable polymer matrix functionalised with specific ligand groups that target defined contaminants.
In the case of PFAS filtration, these resins are engineered to remove both long-chain and short-chain PFAS molecules, an area where many conventional systems fall short. This includes emerging compounds like PFHxA and GenX, which are now subject to tighter global regulation.
Unlike activated carbon or ion-exchange systems that offer limited selectivity, instrAction’s absorber resins provide targeted and efficient removal with:
- 10x higher productivity
- 3-5x greater capacity
- 40% lower operating cost
- 25% lower capital expense
The resins help municipal water providers, point-of-use filter manufacturers, and industrial operators meet new regulatory thresholds, such as the EU’s 0.1 µg/L total PFAS limit for drinking water.
Removing heavy metals from drinking and industrial water
instrAction’s resin portfolio also includes products designed for heavy metal removal, targeting elements such as lead, copper, nickel, cadmium, and mercury.
These resins are used in residential filters, groundwater remediation systems, and industrial wastewater treatment. With high capacity and selectivity, they reduce health risks and help meet global safety standards.
Supporting the circular economy with precious metal recovery
Beyond purification, instrAction also supports circular resource strategies through the recovery of precious metals.
The resins selectively capture valuable metals such as gold, platinum, palladium, and iridium from waste streams in mining, electronics, and pharmaceutical sectors. This not only conserves natural resources but also reduces operational costs and environmental impact.
Designed for easy integration and regeneration
instrAction’s resins are modular and easily integrated into a variety of systems, whether as standalone cartridges, packed bed columns, or hybrid filtration units.
We partner with OEMs and industrial users to develop custom filtration solutions, often combining our resins with activated carbon or mechanical filters to enhance performance and cost-efficiency.
Importantly, the resins are regenerable, allowing multiple reuse cycles that reduce waste and support sustainable operation.
German engineering with global impact
instrAction’s absorber technology is grounded in the precision, rigour, and reliability of German engineering. Scientific research, high-quality standards, and long-term performance back each resin formulation.
As global demand for PFAS treatment and clean water rises, instrAction is positioned at the forefront of this critical sector. Its expanding R&D pipeline supports new applications in green mining, semiconductor manufacturing, and life sciences.
Through innovation, instrAction empowers communities and industries to secure safer water and enable a more circular, resilient future.
