Recover What Matters
Through Advanced Separation Technology.
Emulsion Flow Technologies Ltd.
About Us
Separation Technology Born from Nuclear Science
Emulsion Flow Technologies is a JAEA Startup developing advanced solvent extraction processes for PFAS recovery and critical material recycling.
Our core technology, Emulsion Flow, enables continuous extraction through simple mixing and liquid transfer. We support customers from sample testing and process optimization to scale-up and plant deployment.
Do you have any troubles like these?
✓ Separate and concentrate short- and long-chain PFAS from complex industrial wastewater.
✓ Reduce waste volume by concentrating PFAS for downstream treatment or disposal.
✓ Recover critical minerals from process liquids or recycled feedstocks.
✓ Get end-to-end support from sample evaluation to scale-up and plant deployment.
Let us handle it!
Our Strength
A Versatile Platform for Complex Separation Challenges
Emulsion Flow is not limited to a single application. Extraction conditions can be designed according to the target material and customer process. Its compact, continuous and modular configuration supports installation in limited spaces, phased capacity expansion, and combination with other treatment processes.
1. PFAS SEPARATION, RECOVERY AND CONCENTRATION
From Industrial Wastewater to Concentrated PFAS Streams
PFAS in industrial wastewater can be difficult to address because concentration levels, chain lengths, salts and other coexisting substances vary widely. Emulsion Flow separates and concentrates a broad range of PFAS, including short-chain and long-chain compounds. High concentration reduces the volume requiring downstream destruction or disposal.KEY BENEFITS
Broad PFAS Coverage
Supports the treatment of a broad range of PFAS, from short-chain to long-chain compounds.High Concentration
Concentrates PFAS into a smaller liquid volume to support downstream destruction, incineration or other treatment.Robust Treatment Potential
Suitable for evaluating complex water streams containing salts, organic matter and other coexisting substances.Compact and Modular
Supports installation near existing facilities and phased expansion according to processing requirements.Verified Performance
Over 99.9% PFAS removal and 2,400-fold concentration were achieved in a 2026 demonstration project supported by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment.
2. CRITICAL MINERALS RECOVERY
Recover Value from Complex Process Streams
Emulsion Flow can be adapted to selectively separate and recover critical minerals, rare earth elements and other valuable materials from process liquids and recycled feedstocks. The technology supports lithium-ion battery recycling, metal refining, plating solutions and other resource recovery applications.TARGET MATERIALS AND APPLICATIONS
