STAY UP TO DATEThe Complex Reality of PFAS Removal: Why One Size Doesn’t Fit All
The urgency surrounding per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination has created a rush to implement treatment solutions across the water industry. However, this haste often leads to costly assumptions about the "best" removal technology, potentially resulting in higher capital expenditures and inflated lifecycle costs. The reality is that effective PFAS removal requires a nuanced understanding…
Breakthrough Research: Machine Learning Accelerates PFAS Removal Technology Development
The fight against "forever chemicals" in our drinking water has taken a significant leap forward thanks to groundbreaking research from Georgia Tech. A multi-university team has successfully employed machine learning to dramatically accelerate the discovery of advanced membrane technologies capable of removing PFAS from contaminated water sources, as recently reported by Water Online. The Growing…Cost-Effective PFAS Treatment for Small Communities: Practical Strategies for Safer Water
Introduction: The Urgent Challenge of PFAS in Small Communities As concerns over PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) grow, small water treatment plants (WTPs) across the country face mounting pressure to act. Known as “forever chemicals,” PFAS compounds resist degradation, accumulate in the environment, and pose serious health risks — even at trace levels. While many…
