In this episode of Tech Talk , Katie Wolohan with Barr Engineering joins Marshall Lampson and Bob Molitsky to discuss PFAS. Here are a few of the questions that were discussed:
• What are PFAS?• What are the main sources of exposure to PFAS?• How does PFAS get into drinking water?• What is EPA doing about groundwater cleanup• Are PFAS a national issue?• What makes PFAS unique and challenging to treat?• Common ways to treat PFAS contaminated water?• How are chemical storage tanks used in treatment systems?• Who can I contract with to design a PFAS removal system?
About Katie: Katie Wolohan has more than seven years of environmental consulting experience and assists clients with industrial and municipal water and wastewater treatment, water reuse, and environmental compliance and permitting. She works with clients to navigate water and wastewater treatment challenges and options from conceptual design and bench and pilot testing through full-scale system start-up. Katie has assisted with the evaluation, design, and implementation of several water treatment systems, including a specialized acid-recovery ion-exchange system, an advanced oxidation process system for the removal of 1,4-dioxane from drinking water, and multiple per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) treatment systems.
