Overview

PFAS (otherwise known as ""forever chemicals"") are fast becoming a serious issue for water authorities both in clean and wastewater treatment applications. The aim of this webinar is to provide both a UK and US perspective on the current approach to water treatment to remove these challenging contaminants.

The presentations will seek to outline the current water treatment challenges in both the UK and US, the current legislation landscape and the available technologies/solutions to deal with PFAS.
