A&WMA Conference – Advancing PFAS Treatment and Remediation Solutions – May 13-15, 2025 – Minneapolis, MN
The treatment and remediation of PFAS is a complex and dynamic challenge. This conference will provide a candid, common-sense, and comprehensive view of the PFAS treatment and remediation landscape by bringing together the top researchers and practitioners in the industry. Presentations and discussions will cover technology and innovation from early concept to commercially-viable solutions for the removal, destruction, and treatment of PFAS . . . what has been working, what has not, and how we can achieve more effective solutions.
The technical program will set the stage with discussions on planning for the future: regulatory frameworks, and how that impacts planning and setting goals and objectives that mitigate business risk and risk to human health and the environment and how to incorporate the evaluation of technologies that are best suited for the scenario at hand.
The intent of the conference is to encourage open dialogue to share ideas and discuss opportunities for the future. Technology discussions will focus on practical solutions, applied technology, and developing research that are on the path toward commercialization. Multiple tracks will cover current advances in PFAS treatment, destruction, and remediation technology across multiple media including AFFF, water, soil, and solids. Two concurrent sessions and vendor exhibits are planned, along with demonstrations, a poster session, and networking reception.
