The following is a list of the keynote addresses for all three days of the RemTEC and Emerging Contaminants Summit, opening Tuesday Oct. 3 and running until Oct. 5.
GA-EMS’ iSCWO system processes organic waste with water in an extremely high temperature (650F) and high pressure (4000 psi) environment to efficiently destroy both PFAS and other hazardous and non-hazardous waste.
At the outset, PFAS@Mines will focus on four interdisciplinary efforts aimed at the development of more cost-effective and sustainable technologies for remediating PFAS-contaminated water and soil.
“I think this bill as written, it’s going to pass this committee, but I don’t believe as written it’s going to get 60 votes in the Senate,” Republican Senator Ted Cruz from Texas told KOMO.

About half of all sewage waste in the U.S. is treated and converted to biosolids, a further half of which is used as fertilizer after additional processing.
In a paper published in the journal Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts, scientists showed how PFAS can leach out of fertilizer made from recycled waste with the help of microbial decomposition.
