About the Webinar
As environmental professionals seek effective strategies for managing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), advanced Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) offers a promising approach to contaminant removal. This webinar explores the fundamentals of advanced PAC design, PFAS removal performance, operational considerations, and lifecycle management, as well as drinking water treatment applications.
Through real-world case studies involving surface water and groundwater, instructors will examine how water quality and initial PFAS concentrations influence PAC dosing requirements. Attendees will learn practical approaches to PAC treatability testing, including jar testing techniques, selecting appropriate PAC doses, and designing full-scale PAC feed systems to achieve PFAS compliance.
Beyond treatment performance, the webinar will address the environmental and regulatory considerations associated with spent PAC, including PFAS stability, long-term leachability, residuals generation, and disposal options. The potential for PFAS destruction prior to landfill disposal will also be discussed.
Instructors will also explore considerations for selecting PAC versus Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), including comparisons of application rates and associated adsorbent costs.
