Gradiant’s Anurag Bajpayee, Steven Lam, Katie Dobbins, and Mark Danchak receive 2025 Edison Gold Award

KUALA LUMPUR, April 7 (Bernama) -- Gradiant, a global leader in advanced water and wastewater treatment, has announced that its ForeverGone solution received the prestigious Gold Award at the 2025 Edison Awards.

This recognition highlights Gradiant’s leadership in sustainability and technological innovation, reinforcing its commitment to addressing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination, one of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.

“ForeverGone finally provides a true end-to-end solution — one that concentrates and destroys PFAS at the source, ensuring these harmful chemicals are removed from nature permanently.

“This recognition from the Edison Awards affirms the transformative impact of our technology and our mission to deliver clean water solutions at a global scale,” said Gradiant chief executive officer, Anurag Bajpayee in a statement.

PFAS, commonly referred to as "forever chemicals", are durable synthetic substances found in water sources from industrial, municipal, and landfill activities. These chemicals are associated with serious health concerns, including cancer, immune disorders, and developmental issues, making PFAS a critical public health threat worldwide.

Gradiant’s ForeverGone is the industry’s first integrated solution that not only removes PFAS from contaminated water sources but also permanently destroys them on-site, without the risk of releasing toxic chemicals back into the environment.

The 2025 Edison Awards, announced on April 3 in Fort Myers, Florida, are now in their 38th year, celebrating excellence in new product and service development, marketing, design, and innovation. Finalists are selected by a peer-related voting body made up of top global executives, academics, and innovation leaders.

The ForeverGone technology pairs Micro-Foam Fractionation and Destruction Engine to concentrate PFAS into a micro-foam and destroy it using electro-oxidation, producing water that complies with or exceeds the latest United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) drinking water standards.

This integrated approach enhances simplicity, efficiency, and sustainability, setting new standards for PFAS removal at a reduced overall cost.

Gradiant is rapidly deploying ForeverGone across industries including semiconductors, food and beverage, mining, and major municipalities, ensuring PFAS remediation becomes more accessible to communities worldwide.
