Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also referred to as perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), are man-made chemical compounds that are not naturally occurring in the environment. They are very stable compounds that are resilient to breakdown in the environment. EPA has added six (6) perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to the Third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 3).
Attendees are introduced to the various methods for treating perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS/PFCs/PFOA/PFOS), as well as the pros and cons of each. Successful case studies using activated carbon treatment technology and ion exchange resin technology are discussed by Evoqua Water Technologies’ Scientific and Business Development Teams.
