Haycarb recently took part in the Water Quality Association Convention & Exposition (WQA 2025) in Long Beach, California. As a global leader in high-performance activated carbon solutions, our presence at this premier industry gathering reinforced our commitment to advancing clean water technologies and addressing today’s most critical water quality challenges.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as “forever chemicals”, represent one of the most pressing public health concerns of our time. These persistent contaminants resist conventional treatment methods and continue to accumulate in our environment, making effective removal solutions more crucial than ever.
At WQA 2025, we showcased how Haycarb’s advanced activated carbon technologies are specifically engineered to combat PFAS contamination with:
- Superior adsorption capacity for maximum contaminant removal
- Extended service life for cost-effective operations
- Sustainable regeneration options supporting circular economy principles
- Tailored pore structures optimized for contaminant-specific removal

Whether it’s point-of-entry systems, industrial effluent treatment, or large-scale municipal filtration, Haycarb’s solutions are purpose-built to meet the evolving regulatory standards in the U.S. and globally. Haycarb’s portfolio includes high-performance activated carbon for PFAS removal, supporting both municipal and industrial water treatment systems.
Attendees were able to see, firsthand, the science and strategy behind our activated carbon development, from tailored pore structures for contaminant-specific removal to high-performance coconut shell-based carbon that supports sustainability and low carbon footprints. Interactive discussions at our booth focused on real-world project insights, emerging regulatory updates, and how our R&D pipeline is shaping the next generation of water treatment capabilities.
Our participation at WQA 2025 reflects Haycarb’s proactive approach to supporting the North American water treatment industry. Beyond showcasing our technologies, the event provided invaluable opportunities to listen, learn, and collaborate with the broader water treatment community.
As PFAS regulations continue to tighten and public awareness grows, the demand for effective, sustainable removal solutions will only intensify. Haycarb remains at the forefront of this critical mission, combining decades of activated carbon expertise with cutting-edge research and development.
Our participation at WQA 2025 reinforces our commitment to being a trusted partner in safeguarding water quality for communities, industries, and ecosystems worldwide.
