Platform Presentation Details:

Avoiding the Epic Fail – PFAS Treatability Testing will:

  • Discuss the role of treatability studies in remedial design.
  • Present treatability case studies illustrating the importance of appropriate testing and design.
  • Present a few successful treatability case studies previously performed on PFAS.
  • Present preliminary results of treatability testing research underway for PFAS sorption and destruction technologies.
  • The presentation will also provide:
    • Approximate study costs and test durations.
    • The types of PFAS remediation technologies that are amenable to treatability testing.
    • The types of information that treatability studies can provide for different technologies tested.
The presentation will be brought to you by XDD Environmental’s Principal Michael Marley.

Workshop Details:

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Remediation Workshop

PFAS are contaminants of emerging concern increasingly detected in ground, surface, and drinking water. These synthetic chemicals are associated with a variety of products including fire fighting foams, carpeting, non-stick cookware, and food wrappings.

This workshop will cover PFAS physical-chemical properties relevant to remediation and ex-situ and in-situ options for remediating PFAS in soil and water.

Knowledge and experience in PFAS remediation is evolving fast. The workshop will present the most up-to-date information about remediating PFAS using physical, chemical,and biological technologies, covering both technologies that show promise as well as those that are not expected to be effective. Recently developed technologies using advanced carbon, synthetic resins, alternative natural adsorbents, and advanced oxidation, among others, will be described.

Participants can use this understanding to identify technologies that are likely to be appropriate for a particular site early on in the characterization process. Integrating key data collection for site-specific remedial options into the characterization phase can minimize project costs and schedule by reducing the number of rounds of fieldwork.

The workshop will include the following presenters:
