Biosolids Management Seminar: BIOSOLIDS PFAS MITIGATION

Charlotte Water Training Facility, 4100 West Tyvola Rd., Charlotte, NC

8/22/2024

Description:

Join us for an seminar organized by the NC One Water Residuals and Biosolids Committee. Biosolids managers have many concerns regarding the potential impact PFAS will have on the long-term viability of their programs, especially programs built on land based biosolids management options. This seminar is designed to provide attendees with the most current guidance available regarding potential regulatory impacts in NC and the US. In addition, data will be presented from technologies being used to minimize or eliminate PFAS in biosolids. The program will include presentations by practitioners with actual full-scale (not laboratory or pilot scale) operating experience including PFAS testing results for these technologies.
