PFAS in wastewater and biosolids | CDM Smith

Watch this webinar and earn a PDH:

As part of normal operations, water resource recovery facilities receive vast amounts of wastewater daily and can receive PFAS from multiple waste streams. Absent clear pathways forward, many states are moving ahead with their own PFAS regulations, which can vary considerably.

Watch this webinar to learn:

How PFAS moves through wastewater systems
How to interpret data and make informed decisions
Practical steps for tackling PFAS challenges in biosolids
Insights on the biosolids risk assessment and regulatory process

Using foam fractionation to treat PFAS

PFAS foam may re-concentrate after being released in the environment, and during processes like wastewater treatment, raising the possibility of a new treatment solution.

EPA proposes addition of nine PFAS to RCRA

EPA proposed the addition of nine PFAS compounds to the list of “hazardous constituents” to be considered in Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) facility assessments.

PFAS fingerprinting and the case for source control

Source control and pretreatment are among the most cost-efficient ways to fight PFAS. Our researchers are finding new, more efficient ways to identify and trace PFAS fingerprints in the environment.
