Chromafora Receives Frost & Sullivan's 2025 Global New Product Innovation Award for Excellence in PFAS Water Treatment Solutions
Recognized for its proprietary SELPAXT ™ technology, Chromafora is setting a new standard for innovation and performance in advanced PFAS remediation.
SAN ANTONIO, June 11, 2025 /CNW/ -- Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that Chromafora has been awarded the 2025 Global New Product Innovation Award in the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) water treatment industry for its outstanding achievements in technological innovation and customer value enhancement. This recognition highlights Chromafora's consistent leadership in driving measurable environmental outcomes, advancing regulatory compliance, and delivering customer-centric water treatment solutions in an increasingly complex and regulated market.
Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. Chromafora excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align product innovation with emerging regulatory demands while executing with precision, speed, and market relevance. "Frost & Sullivan recognizes that Chromafora is at the forefront of addressing the issue of PFAS contamination, establishing new benchmarks in water treatment technologies, and paving the way for cleaner, cost-efficient, and streamlined industrial practices," said Fredrick Royan, VP Research at Frost & Sullivan.
Guided by a long-term growth strategy rooted in research excellence, sustainable practices, and strategic partnerships, Chromafora demonstrates its ability to lead in a fast-evolving water treatment landscape. The company's commitment to R&D and investment in proprietary chemistry enables it to scale effectively across critical applications in Europe and beyond, particularly as regulatory bodies tighten controls on PFAS contamination in water sources.
Innovation remains central to Chromafora's approach. Its groundbreaking SELPAXT ™ solution represents a paradigm shift in PFAS remediation. By integrating Surfactant-ligand Assisted Membrane Filtration (SAMF) chemistry, ultrafiltration membranes, automatic regeneration, and remote monitoring, SELPAXT ™ delivers a comprehensive and future-ready response to both short- and long-chain PFAS compounds. "This recognition is a testament to the unique capabilities of SELPAXT ™. We have developed a concentration technology that tackles PFAS at its core — regardless of chain length — with a robustness and efficiency that sets a new standard for industrial water treatment. The combination of proprietary chemistry and ultrafiltration makes this possible." said [Johan Seijmer], [CEO] at Chromafora.
Unlike conventional surface adsorption methods that often face saturation and regeneration challenges, SELPAXT ™ offers continuous performance in high-concentration PFAS environments. The solution minimizes hazardous waste and the need for landfill disposal or incineration—practices that have shown limited success in neutralizing PFAS and preventing secondary pollution. The automatic regeneration capability further enhances cost-efficiency and environmental performance by minimizing resource waste and enabling seamless long-term operations. "Frost & Sullivan acknowledges that SELPAXT ™ is a breakthrough in PFAS treatment, empowering customers with superior quality and results," added Iqra Azam, Best Practices Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan.
Chromafora's unwavering commitment to performance, reliability, and environmental stewardship further strengthens its competitive positioning. The company has engineered its platform not only to remove contaminants but also to offer remote monitoring capabilities for real-time process oversight. This level of control ensures operational continuity and enables proactive maintenance interventions—an important factor for industries with strict compliance mandates. Chromafora's tailored service model and scalable architecture enable it to serve municipalities, industrial clients, and environmental agencies with equal precision.
Frost & Sullivan commends Chromafora for setting a new benchmark in innovation, execution, and sustainability within the PFAS water treatment industry. The company's visionary approach to complex challenges—particularly around short-chain PFAS management and waste handling—reflects a deep alignment with market needs and positions it as a global technology leader.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the New Product Innovation Award to a company that demonstrates outstanding development and commercialization of a technology or solution, resulting in marked improvements in customer performance and market adoption. The award recognizes forward-thinking companies that combine product differentiation with strategic foresight to transform their industry.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in various regional and global markets for demonstrating excellence in leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and evaluate performance through in-depth interviews, analyses, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices across the value chain.

Rockwell Automation Helps Customers Unlock the Potential of Their Data with the Launch of OptixEdge
Advanced edge gateway solution transforms the way data is processed, enabling time and cost savings MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 12, 2025 /CNW/ -- Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world's largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today announced the global launch of OptixEdge, an innovative edge gateway solution that revolutionizes data processing for industrial customers. Today's smart machines are generating more data than ever, but according to Rockwell's latest State of Smart Manufacturing Report, only 44% of data is being used effectively. Many companies face challenges that prevent them from utilizing a vast amount of their data, such as network limitations, security concerns, or storage costs. Traditionally, data is sent to distant cloud servers to be processed, but this can be expensive and inefficient. OptixEdge can directly address these issues by processing information where it's created – at the machine, in real time. It connects to the user's control system through Rockwell's FactoryTalk® Optix™ software to collect, analyze, and send data to the cloud, enabling users to monitor and analyze machine or system data from multiple locations. This means faster insights, lower costs, and smarter decision-making. "OptixEdge empowers customers to take control of their data like never before, providing powerful edge computing capabilities with flexibility, security, and ease of use," said Jessica Morell, software product manager at Rockwell Automation. "By processing data at its source, OptixEdge enables customers to unlock valuable insights, improve efficiency, and drive innovation across their operations." Key capabilities of OptixEdge include: Built-in Wizard App: A pre-installed FactoryTalk Optix application simplifies the data collection process and allows for easy configuration using only a web browser, cutting down on engineering time. It also offers the ability for users to build and deploy custom applications, if preferred. Designed for efficiency: Allows lightweight applications to run in tandem with included software. Secure remote access and troubleshooting: Remote assistance is available through FactoryTalk® Remote Access™, allowing remote engineers and maintenance teams to program, configure and troubleshoot systems over a secure VPN connection. Open and flexible: OptixEdge can be utilized in conjunction with a plant or machine's existing Rockwell hardware or third-party graphic terminals and controllers. Cost savings and network performance improvement: OptixEdge offers users the ability to send less data to the cloud, which can help save money on storage and improve network performance. Learn more about Rockwell's innovative OptixEdge solution on Rockwell's website. About Rockwell Automation Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK) is a global leader in industrial automation and digital transformation. We connect the imaginations of people with the potential of technology to expand what is humanly possible, making the world more productive and more sustainable. Headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Rockwell Automation employs approximately 27,000 problem solvers dedicated to our customers in more than 100 countries as of fiscal year end 2024.
