WEBINAR - Treatment Technologies for PFAS Destruction – How Far Are We from Off-the-shelf Solutions?

Complete destruction of environmentally persistent PFAS is desirable, but only a few commercially available options for large waste streams exist. In this webinar, Jens Blotevogel will discuss the current status of various destructive treatment processes from existing technologies such as thermal treatment to emerging technologies such as electrochemical oxidation.

This session will cover both academic research and practical aspects of field application and is therefore aimed at practitioners, regulators, scientists, and engineers alike.
