    EPA, HHS Move Microplastics from Fringe Concern to Federal Priority

    In this episode Traci Purdum discusses Lynn Bergeson’s latest article "EPA, HHS Move Microplastics from Fringe Concern to Federal Priority" July 15, 2026 For a long time, microplastics were treated as a recycling problem or a marine litter problem. That changed this spring. On April 6, 2026, two federal agencies moved on the same day in ways that push microplastics squarely into the compliance conversation. Compliance Advisor columns.

    Why Sodium Softeners Make or Break Boiler Water Chemistry

    In this episode of Chemical Processing's Distilled podcast, host Traci Purdum talks with Brad Buecker, senior technical consultant at Samco Technologies, about sodium softening — the workhorse treatment for industrial boiler makeup water. Buecker explains how hardness ions cause scale, why residual bicarbonate drives corrosive condensate return lines, and how to spot early warning signs of a poorly monitored softener. He shares real-world cases where bypassing softeners or delaying maintenance led to rapid boiler tube failures and six-figure losses, walks through the regeneration cycle and its common pitfalls, and compares sodium softening with reverse osmosis for higher-pressure systems.
