    Member fee: 25.00
    Non-Member fee: $35.00

    1.2 Contact Hours towards CWEA Certifications: ECI & LAB

    Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent chemicals found in consumer and industrial products, posing challenges for wastewater treatment due to their low concentration and high treatment costs. This study examines how EfOM, particularly dissolved organic carbon (DOC), competes with PFAS for adsorption sites in granular activated carbon (GAC) and ion exchange (IX) resin systems. Additionally, the research explores the potential regulatory implications of new EPA water quality criteria and the economic feasibility of PFAS removal. Findings will guide wastewater agencies in assessing PFAS treatability and the cost-effectiveness of adsorption-based treatment solutions.

    In this webinar, attendees will learn the following: 

    Understand the challenges of PFAS removal in wastewater effluent and the role of adsorption technologies.
    Analyze how EfOM and DOC impact the effectiveness of PFAS adsorption using GAC and IX resin.
    Examine the regulatory landscape, including EPA’s draft water quality criteria for PFAS and its potential impact on wastewater agencies.
    Evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of PFAS treatment strategies in municipal wastewater effluent.

  • P3S25 - Part 2: Challenges and Considerations of Measuring BOD in Wastewaters

    Biochemical oxygen demand measures the amount of oxygen required by aerobic bacteria to break down organic matter in wastewaters, providing an index of the level of organic pollution in the water. Knowledge of the characteristics of a site is essential for proper sample preparation to obtain accurate results. While BOD has been adopted as the standard for measuring organic pollution levels, it has a long turn-around time of five days and there are other more rapid analyses available to assess organic pollution, such as total organic carbon (TOC) concentration and chemical oxygen demand (COD). This presentation provides an overview of the BOD method and the challenges and considerations encountered in the laboratory, as well as a discussion of the relationships between BOD, TOC, and COD observed at the San Jose-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility.
