In this episode of Water Talk, we sit down with Martin Bureau from ALTRA to talk about a safe solution for PFAS.

In this segment from Virtual Water Expo, Martin Bureau from ALTRA presents about combatting PFAS. 

Martin Bureau answers the considerable question, "What will be the next big thing in water?" in this sneak peek of WEFTEC 2023.

At the Waste Expo 2023 Panel, Martin Bureau and Steven Butel discuss PFAS 101. 

In this episode of Water Talk, Angela Godwin meets with Martin Bureau to discuss how PFAS is affecting communities and what solutions ALTRA is providing.

Learn how ALTRA's team of experts can design a comprehensive solution for your specific needs.

Sharing the results of ALTRA’s latest PFAS pilot in the field is Martin Bureau, Eng., Ph. D., Vice-President Innovation at SANEXEN. He will summarize the on-site tests, go through the operating conditions and PFAS removal levels, and explain what this means for the future of ALTRA and PFAS treatment across North America.

Explore how Altra's next-generation technology renews and protects aging water infrastructure from the inside with minimal disruption to communities, businesses and historical landmarks.

Martin Bureau, Vice-President Innovation talks about the complex treatment challenges of PFAS, owing to the sheer diversity in chemical nature and the most effective approach to combat PFAS. 

Removal and destruction of PFAS is a fast-evolving issue in water treatment. It presents multiple complex treatment challenges because PFAS are always different from one site to the other, owing to the sheer diversity in chemical nature and origin of PFAS compound contamination. Given our extensive experience with multiple co-contamination water treatment, including dissolved solids, metals, oil and grease, hydrocarbons, and DNAPLs and other chlorinated solvents for many decades, our PFAS projects for over 20 years, and our track record with the federal and provincial government in Canada of delivering first-in-class, turn-key, robust environmental site remediation projects, Martin Bureau, VP Innovation, shares our key findings.

The liner we install creates a lead-proof barrier into existing pipes – ensuring high quality drinking water for residents. Our solution, recognized internationally by the most respected independent certification organizations for health and safety, has become of particular interest to busy urban centers looking to reduce disruption to traffic and to older established communities where it is important to conserve heritage properties and natural landscapes like protected trees and buildings.

PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are quickly emerging into a major environmental and human health concern. Characterized by their extreme resistance to breaking down — owing to the molecules’ carbon-fluorine bonds, the strongest in organic chemistry — PFAS are persistent in the environment and can be found in water, wastewater, soils, air, food, and in the blood of humans and animals.

ALTRA3D is the answer to a number of challenges experienced in the field by first responders using hoses in extreme conditions.

The best way to combat the extreme PFAS at highly contaminated environments as economically as possible is to develop a custom approach that takes every factor into account and isn’t beholden to any specific technology.

As reported in the Globe and Mail, SANEXEN, ALTRA Proven Solutions' environmental brand in Canada, was recently awarded the prestigious Canada Clean50 award thanks to its work improving sustainability and resilience with trenchless water main renewal.

Reassessing the way we think about resilience in water management is imperative in order to change our ways and capitalize on innovation.

ALTRA Proven Solutions experts believe there are two key areas where they can have a positive impact in helping to eliminate PFAS from our environment: Advocacy and Innovation through ALTRA PFAS solutions.

Through collaboration with customers, suppliers and municipalities, ALTRA Proven Solutions looked for innovative ways to better design, plan, finance, and build our infrastructures to make them more resilient.
