  1. Attleboro, MA Selects IXOM Watercare To Support PFAS Removal Strategy 9/23/2026

    IXOM Watercare, a leading provider of water management and disinfection byproduct (DBP) precursor removal solutions, has been selected to provide its MIEX® Magnetic Ion Exchange Systems to the City of Attleboro Water Department. With a capacity of two million gallons per day, MIEX® will be deployed to support the City’s mission to reduce the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in potable water by removing dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from the treatment process prior to the PFAS treatment. DOC can interfere with many PFAS adsorption and absorption processes as these compounds compete with PFAS for the same removal mechanism.

  2. De Nora Launches Integrated Water Technology Solutions At WEFTEC 2026 9/23/2026

    Industrie De Nora S.p.A., a global leader in electrochemistry, water treatment and sustainable solutions will launch a new suite of integrated water technology solutions at WEFTEC 2026, bringing recently added capabilities in plant safety, advanced filtration and PFAS removal into one connected portfolio built to help customers solve their toughest treatment challenges.

  3. DEXSORB® Treatment Of Surface Water For Gravity System 9/21/2026

    Discover how a dual-vessel lead-lag media system achieved continuous non-detect levels for target legacy contaminants, treating over 250,000 gallons of surface water to support regulatory compliance and municipal drinking water goals.

  4. Pretreatment Systems Enable Complete And More Economical PFAS Solutions 9/16/2026
    For operators looking to optimize their PFAS removal systems, controlling the presence of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) offers an approach to minimizing operational costs due to granular activated carbon (GAC) reactivation and ion exchange media change-out.
  5. A Commonsense Approach To Breaking The PFAS Cycle In Our World 9/15/2026

    Managing global contamination requires balancing modern industrial dependence with environmental health. Targeted wastewater regulations, restricted use for non-essential applications, and sustainable remediation frameworks offer a pragmatic path forward without sacrificing vital technological advancements.

  6. New Method Turns Harmful Environmental Waste Into Useful Synthetic Reagent 9/11/2026

    Fluorinated waste, like that found in firefighting aqueous film-forming foam, can act as a significant environmental pollutant. Recently, James Tour’s lab at Rice University developed a method to capture the fluoride from these waste streams and recycle it into a useful reagent, silver fluoride, that could be used in other manufacturing processes. This process was recently published in Nature Chemical Engineering.

  7. What Utilities Don't Know About GAC Reuse For PFAS 9/9/2026
    For utilities building PFAS treatment systems, thermal reactivation of spent granular activated carbon (GAC) may sound like the obvious answer. However, service provider availability and location, specific media acceptance criteria including quantity thresholds, restrictions on GAC type and condition, and regulatory uncertainty can all determine whether reuse is a viable option.
  8. Study Unveils Chemistry Of Destroying 'Forever Chemicals' 9/8/2026

    UC Riverside environmental engineers have identified key chemical reactions that occur when ultraviolet light is used to destroy “forever chemical” pollutants in water, providing a roadmap for developing more effective cleanup technologies.

  9. The Cost Of Waiting: Utilities Face A Narrowing PFAS Compliance Window 9/4/2026
    For years, the water industry's PFAS conversation centered on monitoring, testing, and regulatory anticipation. Today, that phase is largely over.
  10. PFAS Funding Is Flowing — But Does The Water Sector Have Enough People To Deliver It? 9/4/2026
    For several years, the PFAS conversation has centered on treatment options, testing, and funding. Those factors still matter, but they are no longer the primary constraint. Most utilities already understand the treatment routes available to them; the real challenge now is moving from technical possibility to operational performance, and that depends entirely on people.
