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…

The battle against per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in our water supply has intensified the need for precision in water treatment processes. As these "forever chemicals" pose increasing threats to public health, water treatment facilities are turning to advanced chemical dosing technologies to ensure effective removal and safer drinking water for communities worldwide. The Critical…

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…

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…

The Building Blocks of PFAS Expertise: Breakthrough Solutions in Water Treatment Source: Water Online – ALTRA As PFAS contamination rises to national and global concern, water treatment innovators are facing unprecedented demand for cost-effective, reliable purification systems. Known as “forever chemicals,” per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) resist natural degradation and accumulate in soil, water, wildlife,…

Water treatment facilities across the country are experiencing significant improvements in efficiency and accuracy thanks to Coriolis mass flow meters. According to a recent report from Siemens Process Instrumentation, these advanced meters are changing how treatment plants manage chemical dosing in the purification process. The journey from raw water to potable drinking water involves multiple…
