Puraffinity and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Partner to Advance PFAS Remediation Technologies
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, July 20, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Puraffinity, a leading innovator of advanced adsorbents for the removal of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), announces a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). The goal of the collaboration is to conduct research and field demonstrations involving Puraffinity's Puratech G400, an adsorbent material developed for the treatment of PFAS-contaminated waters.
Under this agreement, ERDC and Puraffinity will conduct a series of laboratory and field trials. These trials will compare the performance of Puratech G400 with other PFAS treatment technologies such as Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) and Ion Exchange Resins (IEX). The primary objective is to explore Puratech G400's potential in improving treatment outcomes and reducing operating expenses (OPEX) and capital expenditure (CAPEX) in PFAS remediation. The research will target contamination sources from legacy facilities, including aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF).
The key research objectives include:
• Conducting laboratory and pilot-scale testing using real-world PFAS-contaminated water samples from both Department of Defense (DoD) and non-DoD sites.
• Developing performance data to inform potential future applications on DoD installations and other settings.
• Evaluating the use of Puratech G400 as a complementary or polishing step to existing destruction technologies.
'This collaboration with the ERDC marks a significant milestone in our mission to deliver innovative, scalable, and sustainable PFAS treatment technologies,' said Vincent Caillaud, CEO of Puraffinity. 'We are proud to work alongside one of the world's foremost research institutions to generate robust performance data and contribute meaningfully to the field of PFAS remediation.'
The research initiative forms part of a broader strategic effort, reflecting Puraffinity's commitment to scientific rigor and collaborative innovation with government, industry, and academic stakeholders addressing the global PFAS challenge.

Atletico Madrid eye £34m Chelsea transfer
Atlético Madrid have made contact with Renato Veiga's representatives as the club eye a move for the Chelsea defender. Veiga has returned to Chelsea after spending the second half of last season on loan at Juventus. The Portugal international joined Chelsea from FC Basel last summer but was unable to break into Enzo Maresca's plans. Amid a desire for more minutes, in his preferred centre-back position, Veiga left on loan in January. He made 15 appearances for the Italian side in all competitions but no option to extend his time in Turin was triggered. The defender is now exploring a permanent exit and Atletico Madrid are keen to strike a deal. Fabrizio Romano has reported that talks between Veiga's camp and Atletico have taken place, with the 22-year-old open to the move to the Spanish side. He is keen to secure regular football to boost his chances of making the Portugal squad for next summer's World Cup, having helped his nation to Nations League success this summer. Chelsea have set a price tag of €40m (£34.6m) for Veiga, having acquired the centre-back for just €14m (£12.1m) 12 months ago. Read – See more – Follow The Football Faithful on Social Media: | | | |

What keeps European payment executives awake at night? New Celent report alert
Earlier this year, Celent surveyed senior payments executives at banks across seven of the largest European markets: France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the Nordics, Spain, and the UK. The Celent survey of European Banks featured only executives with senior leadership responsibility for payments technology investment, with either their own technology budgets or direct influence on technology budget prioritisation. Celent sought to explore two major areas: Executive attitudes to market developments, e.g., how they view certain regulatory and competitive developments, what they expect to have the biggest impact on their business, who is likely to benefit the most, and their views on the payments market growth. Payments in their organisations today and investment priorities, e.g., how banks view and manage payments today, what is driving technology-related projects in payments this year and in the next few years, areas in which they expect to make the biggest investments, and where they are in the modernisation cycle for some of their key payment systems. The European payments market is undergoing tremendous amount of change. Celent has been exploring the regulatory and competitive forces driving that change and how those might shape the European payments market over the next 5-10 years in several recent reports, such as: A Future of European Payments: Getting Ready for a Seismic Shift in Commerce Rethinking Your Digital Wallet Strategy: From Payments to Identity and Agentic Commerce Ding Ding, Round Three: PSD3 and the PSR1 Take Shape While those reports were informed by Celent's research and regular dialogue with the market participants, it was also keen to capture the voice of bank executives more formally and directly. What keeps European payment executives awake at night: key takeaways include: The European banks expect regulatory changes to have the biggest impact on the payments market over the next five years. Of those, banks identified the third Payment Services Directive (PSD3), Instant Payment Regulation (IPR), and digital euro as the top three regulatory changes shaping the market. While 44% of banks view the upcoming regulation as an opportunity, there are significant differences in attitude based on size, type, or geography. 50% of banks say that their payments business margins are becoming harder to maintain, although only 22% have a good handle of their P&L. Open banking payments and account-to-account digital wallets top the banks' investment agenda for the next two years, with much of that investment already underway. 48% of banks intend to upgrade their credit card issuing platforms in the next 1-2 years.

Inter Milan Target Increasingly Likely To Remain At Parma Unless Francesco Acerbi Departs
It is becoming increasingly likely that Inter Milan will miss out on signing Parma centre-back Giovanni Leoni this summer, despite strong interest. As reported in today's newspaper edition of Gazzetta di Parma, and via the Crociati are unwilling to lose their prized asset on the cheap and are holding out for €40 million for the defender. Leoni has attracted interest from a host of clubs in Serie A after a breakthrough season in which he featured 17 times in the top flight, despite only turning 18 in December. However, Parma's asking price for the starlet has put off most suitors, and Inter are also unlikely to meet the demands set for him, particularly as the Gialloblu have so far proven unwilling to budge on that fee. As such, the Nerazzurri are only willing to consider pushing ahead if they can cash in on veteran defender Francesco Acerbi this summer, freeing up wages and potentially bringing in a transfer fee to fund a pursuit of Leoni.
