PFAS in your system? We decontaminate.
Using our certified specialist process, we remove PFC/PFAS from tanks, pipelines and industrial systems – quickly, thoroughly and in full legal compliance. Trust the European market leader for safety critical PFAS decontamination.
Act now instead of facing liability
PFAS containing foam agents are subject to strict EU regulations – improper handling can result in significant environmental and liability risks. Operators are required to professionally decontaminate affected systems and prevent residual contamination. Our certified procedures meet all legal requirements – quickly, safely and without operational disruption.
Below the
detection limit
Our procedures reliably reduce PFAS residues below statutory detection limits. The results are verified through laboratory analyses – providing important proof for authorities, auditors and approval procedures.
Residue free
results
We completely remove PFAS containing foam agents from tanks, pipelines and foam lines. No critical residues remain – ideal for maintenance approvals, environmental inspections and safe continued operation.
Fast and safe process workflows
Our experienced teams use mobile specialist equipment and proven procedures. This allows us to reduce downtime and carry out decontamination safely, even within tight time windows.

Foam tank professionally decontaminated
PFAS decontamination in practice
Minimax tank professionally decontaminated – with laboratory values below the detection limit. The old foam agent was removed and replaced.
NT Service GmbH is a certified specialist company in accordance with WHG and Section 62 AwSV. Our qualifications include the cleaning, maintenance and decontamination of systems containing substances hazardous to water – including LAU and HBV facilities. Work in potentially explosive areas is also covered. Trust in certified safety for both the environment and your operations.
PFAS foam agents – permitted in the tank, prohibited in the drain?
PFAS containing foam agents may still be used under certain conditions according to the REACH Regulation – but environmental law sets clear limits. Legal consequences may already arise when the substances are discharged. NT Service GmbH helps operators identify risks, comply with regulations and implement safe solutions.
Legal situation
Section 48 of the German Water Resources Act applies immediately. Even small quantities in wastewater may be unlawful.
Responsibility
Operators are liable for improper handling. Without decontamination or containment measures, fines, shutdowns and remediation obligations may result.
Solution approach
We support operators throughout every step of the process – from decontamination to the conversion to PFC free systems, including expert assessments.
New system or decontamination?
Before investing in a new fire protection system, consider the advantages of professional decontamination. A complete replacement may appear attractive, but it involves significant costs, time requirements and approval procedures.
Our PFAS decontamination provides a fast, legally compliant and cost efficient alternative: you continue using your existing equipment while still meeting all regulatory requirements.
Decontamination is usually more cost effective than building a new system – while providing full performance and legal certainty.
Our procedures can be implemented within a very short time quickly. In many cases, decontamination replaces lengthy conversion work.
All cleaning procedures are precisely tailored to your fire protection system – including full documented verification.
Following decontamination, we also offer regular maintenance and comprehensive long term support on request.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here we answer common questions about PFAS decontamination, our services, procedures and areas of expertise. For further questions, we are happy to assist you personally – simply use our contact form.
What are PFCs or PFAS, and why is their decontamination important?
PFCs or PFAS are persistent chemicals commonly found in firefighting foams. They are considered harmful to health and can contaminate soil and groundwater for decades. Their removal is therefore legally required and essential for environmental protection.
Which techniques are used for the decontamination of PFCs/PFAS?
Specially developed cleaning procedures, coordinated chemical agents and ATEX approved extraction systems are used. The effectiveness of each measure is documented through laboratory analyses after completion.
Are there legal regulations regarding the removal of PFCs/PFAS?
Yes, decontamination is regulated by various laws and regulations, including the POP Regulation, the German Water Resources Act and relevant environmental requirements. Particularly important are the limit values for PFOA and related substances.
How often does a system for the removal of PFCs/PFAS need to be maintained?
The need for maintenance depends on the area of application and local requirements. As a rule, we recommend regular follow up inspections and measurements in order to detect and remove residues at an early stage.
What safety measures does NT Service GmbH take to protect its employees?
All employees wear certified protective equipment and work in accordance with strict safety regulations. In addition, they regularly undergo voluntary PFC blood analyses as part of preventive medical monitoring.
What measures are taken to minimise the health risks associated with handling chemicals?
We rely on closed systems, certified equipment, precise procedures and continuous training of our specialists. All processes follow a documented safety concept with multiple control and verification stages.
How is compliance with safety regulations monitored at NT Service GmbH?
Compliance is ensured through internal audits, documented inspection procedures and external monitoring. Every operation is planned in advance and continuously supervised during execution.
