Description

In this session, we'll delve into the innovative VAL (Vacuum-Assisted Foam Fractionation) technology, specifically designed for removing PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) from contaminated water and wastewater. We'll explore the principles behind foam fractionation, its efficacy in PFAS removal, optimization strategies, and future research directions. Participants will acquire basic knowledge of how it works and what the outstanding features are. 

After this session, attendees will be able to:

1. Describe how foam fractionation works and how it helps remove harmful PFAS from water.   
2. Explore practical ways to make VAL technology work better for removing PFAS from water and wastewater.   
3. Discuss why it's important to collect and concentrate PFAS for proper disposal.   
4. Use simple explanations to understand how VAL technology can be adjusted to remove more PFAS from different kinds of water.  

Ideal Audience: Entrepreneurs and water utility managers and operators who are motivated to provide cost-effective PFAS-removal solutions to benefit their communities.
