Tackling CECs: Experience + Technology for the Win

Today’s water treatment plants are faced with unprecedented treatment challenges as the modern chemistry that has been providing the comforts and conveniences we love – from cookware coatings to beautifying cosmetics to lawn enhancers - catches up with us. PFAS “forever chemicals” are making headlines. Pharmaceutical micropollutants and common pesticides are showing up in drinking water. The world is watching as regulations are enacted to mitigate the known – and unknown – consequences of contaminants of emerging concern (CEC). These complex contaminants demand a multi-barrier approach, scientific research, proven technologies, and application expertise if we hope to successfully tackle the effects of CEC.
