Oxyle

Oxyle is the world’s first economical, sustainable, and permanent answer to PFAS destruction. Our breakthrough PFAS destruction technology empowers industrial and environmental remediation companies in their fight against water contamination by completely eliminating all PFAS to below detection limits, without generating secondary waste. With 15x lower average energy consumption than other destructive treatments, it stands as the most energy efficient, cost effective treatment on the market. Established in 2020, we’re on a mission to protect our water from PFAS - down to the last drop. For our health, our planet, and your business.

Oxyle engineers PFAS treatment solutions tailored to our customer's needs. Considering the specific conditions of their wastewater, discharge needs, and operational expenditure goals, we customize the treatment system for them. We use a three step approach: First, remove PFAS from wastewater with non-destructive technologies such as nanofiltration or foam-fractionation to up-concentrate PFAS by 5-50x. Second, destroy PFAS to below detection limits using our patented catalytic oxidation and reduction technology. Third, monitor and adapt treatment parameters in real-time using our proprietary online analytics technology, ensuring compliance and energy efficiency every time. Our comprehensive system tackles every PFAS challenge it faces - efficiently, effectively, and at scale.

Dr. Fajer Mushtaq's path to co-founding Oxyle was significantly shaped by her early life experiences with water scarcity and contamination. Born in the water-rich region of Kashmir and later relocating to water-scarce Delhi, she developed a profound awareness of the vital need for access to clean water. These formative experiences drove her to pursue a PhD at ETH Zurich, where she dedicated her studies to developing technologies aimed at improving water quality. It was during this time that she met Dr. Silvan Staufert, and together they founded Oxyle, united by a shared mission to tackle the complex global issue of water contamination. Four years later, Oxyle is a team over 23 highly motivated engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs - all committed to protecting our waters from forever chemicals, forever.
