Magnetic nanoparticles can remove forever chemicals from water.

Lab technicians rarely get an audience for their work. Accurate testing happens behind the scenes, often under tight deadlines and even tighter regulatory requirements. The WEFTEC Lab Operations Challenge gives that work a stage. Below, we answer the questions most people ask about this event, and why Hach is proud to sponsor it again in 2026.

Expressions of interest (EoI) are being sought by leading research organisation UKWIR for expert partners ready to carry out targeted research projects to tackle critical water industry problems.

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.

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.

EvenMix specializes in IBC tote mixing systems for water treatment applications that require polymer and flocculant preparation.
