United Utilities is developing the Short Chain PFAS Treatment Accelerator Programme as a proposed Water Innovation Fund Water Breakthrough Challenge 7 bid under the Transform scheme. Through this preliminary market engagement, United Utilities is seeking information from organisations interested in partnering on the project and contributing to its development and delivery through either a monetary contribution or a benefit-in-kind contribution. We are particularly interested in suppliers and technology providers offering treatment solutions capable of removing or reducing short-chain PFAS compounds in water and wastewater applications, as well as organisations able to support testing, evidence generation, technology selection and regulatory readiness.
