Overview:

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) can be found everywhere and regulations globally are on the rise. This common “chemical of convenience” is used to enhance every-day products and has been detected in places as far away as the North Pole. While PFAS may be considered a “forever” chemical there are ways to safely remove it from water. In this webinar we will explore and compare the two commonly accepted solutions for PFAS removal; factors to be aware of when selecting a solution; and how to leverage a piloting program to validate the expected performance as well as looking at the total cost of ownership.

At the completion of this one-hour OJT session, participants will be able to demonstrate the following:

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • PFAS background and global impact of the “forever” chemical
                          • Basic understanding of PFAS removal process
                          • Differences between current PFAS removal solutions
                          • Steps to select a PFAS removal solution
                          • Leverage a pilot program for evaluating the total cost of ownership
