WEBINAR - PFAS Immobilisation – from Application to Validation: Part 2 - Case studies

PFAS immobilisation is fast being recognised as a pivotal tool in the cost effective and sustainable management of PFAS. While immobilisation does not destroy PFAS, it does present an affordable option to manage PFAS by preventing PFAS mass flows entering the environment. This too is particularly suited to large volumes of PFAS impacted soil, where total concentration in soil is relatively low – where destructive technologies do not lend themselves well based on cost, practicality, and net environmental benefit.

The webinar is a follow up to the event “PFAS Immobilisation – from Application to Validation” held in March 2023, which provided a high-level start to finish guide of the key consideration for running a successful PFAS immobilisation project, ranging from soil testing to sorbent selection, bench trials to soil blending and finally validation.  Part 2, “case studies”, seeks to explore the application of the principals discussed in Part 1 to impart practical learnings from projects undertaken across the globe where immobilisation has successfully been used to manage PFAS contaminated soils.

The session is a must for site managers, duty holders or contractors considering employing PFAS immobilisation in the future as a device to manage PFAS contamination ins soils.

The presentation will be followed by a question and answer session. We will send a unique access link to registrants on the morning of the event. If you cannot attend on the day, you can still get the benefit, as the session will be recorded and available to view later.
