Webinar: The Tangible Benefits of Thermally Treating PFAS-Impacted Materials
March 26 @ 2:00 PM EDT - 3:00 PM EDT
In the realm of PFAS treatment of solid media (e.g., soils, solid investigative derived waste, and spent granular activated carbon), no technology offers potentially greater promise than thermal treatment. This webinar explores the nature of PFAS bonds (and the resulting difficulties with destroying them), the stability of these compounds with heating, the range of thermal technologies available to the environmental industry, and the tangible benefits of beneficial reuse of treated materials following thermal treatment.
