Photon Energy Group Reports Q2 2025 Results with Revenue Growth and Key Operational Milestones
Photon Remediation is excited to be part of this year’s ALGA ecoforum, the leading event for contaminated land and groundwater professionals across Australia and New Zealand.
From 28–30 October, our team will be at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, actively participating in panel discussions, lightning talks, and poster presentations — our full schedule is listed below. We’d love to chat with our partners and industry colleagues, so please say hello in person, or reach out in advance to arrange an appointment.
For more information or to register for the event, visit the ALGA ecoforum website.

Poster | Permeable Reactive Barrier Enhanced Electrokinetic Soil Remediation for the Removal of PFAS
This presentation explores an enhanced electrokinetic (EK) soil remediation approach for PFAS using permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) and biosurfactants. Lab trials showed great mobility and desorption in PFHxS and PFHpA, short chain PFAS . Results highlight a scalable, low-energy in-situ method offering an alternative remediation solutions.
Poster | Pilot-Scale Evaluation of an Electrokinetic–Permeable Reactive Barrier System for In-Situ Remediation of PFAS-Contaminated Soil
This presentation shares pilot-scale results of an electrokinetic–PRB system for in-situ PFAS remediation in AFFF-impacted soils. The study evaluates PFAS removal efficiency, PRB performance, and biosurfactant-enhanced transport, offering a low-impact, scalable alternative to traditional soil remediation methods.
Panel discussion | Beyond PFOS and PFOA: The Unseen Spectrum of PFAS Exposure
In Australia we are often laser-focused on PFOS, PFOA and PFHxS (and now PFBS). Meanwhile, other PFAS compounds are slipping through the regulatory cracks. What else should we be looking at, and how do we expand the scope of what’s considered “important” in reducing exposure and risk.
Themes include: Beyond the 'Big Three', air, dust, and overlooked exposure routes, and 'Are we doing enough?'
Lightning talk session | Driving Renewable Energy Through Indigenous Collaboration in New Zealand
This presentation explores the role of Indigenous community engagement in delivering one of New Zealand’s largest solar farms. It highlights collaborative planning with mana whenua, local employment opportunities, and how cultural values were integrated into project design—demonstrating a model for inclusive, community-driven renewable energy development.

Standard presentation | Trial application of Waterguard Nano™ for a low cost, low energy ex-situ PFAS treatment of leachate ponds
This presentation shares results from a pilot trial of WaterGuard Nano™, a low-energy electrochemical system for treating PFAS in landfill leachate. It covers treatment performance, system design, and how the approach may support landfill operators in meeting evolving environmental regulations with minimal infrastructure or operational costs.
