Business Acceleration Workshops - CIRCE2020 il trattamento dei PFAS nell'ottica dell'economia circolare

Italy, 11th May 2020 - Web-Conference

On the 11th of May, the Italian partners, ETRA S.p.A and ARPAV, organized a technical (web) meeting focused on the Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) treatment.

PFAS are a group of man-made carbon-fluorine chemicals, widely used in many industrial and household products. The accumulation and treatment of PFAS is facing heavy scrutiny in a number of sectors including industrial, municipal and waste management. PFAS are detected in many wastewaters, especially  landfill leachate, due to their widespread uses in consumer and industrial products. 
PFAS treatment systems need to be carefully engineered, with consideration of specific wastewater chemistry, co-contaminant removals, and the pros and the cons of different treatment options.
Alone, or together, there are multiple choices—including new advances—that need to considered to provide an optimal solution:

  • Granular activated carbon (GAC)
  • Ion-exchange (IX) resins
  • Evaporator Crystallizers 
  • Nanofiltration (NF) or reverse osmosis (RO) 

The workshop aims to stress the difference of the technical solutions in line with the CIRCE2020 approach focused on minimazing the use of resources and the waste production taking into account both the environmental and economical impact.

The following presentations and videos are available only in Italian language (for further information please contact the CIRCE2020 staff at circe2020@etraspa.it - circe@arpa.veneto.it).
