Report Available for Comprehensive PFAS Test

After over a year of hard work, the Clean Harbors PFAS Test Report has been formally issued by the EPA. Please see the link below for the EPA posting of the report availability. As the announcement says:

“ This is the most comprehensive PFAS incineration test to date and provides valuable data about PFAS incineration.” This is a major accomplishment for the project team.

Focus‘ role was as the technical director for the project. Focus, in conjunction with several subcontractors planned and managed the test program and developed the test report. There were six subcontractors:

EA Engineering Science & Technology : Process sampling and PFAS Spiking

Alliance Technical Group: Stack Sampling

Eurofins (Knoxville and West Sacramento): Sample Analysis

Superior Spiking Industries: C2F6 Spiking

Spectrum Environmental Solutions: FTIR Monitor

Teri Bales: Data Validation

The project was performed in collaboration with the U.S. EPA and U.S. DOD.

A&WMA Webinar – Siting and Environmental Considerations of Data Center Development Part 2 – October 15, 2023 – 1:00 to 2:30 pm ET

Part 2: Air Permitting and Modeling – An Innovative Approach for Intermittent Sources
Wednesday, October 15, 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm ET

The continued expansion and electrification of the economy, along with lowering air quality standards, continues to provide challenges for industries across the country. From AI to pulp and paper, the need for air quality compliance demonstrations as part of the permitting process continues to lead to innovative solutions to address EPA model limitations, complex source operation, and stringent air quality standards. This webinar will provide an overview of the data center market trends, address common compliance approaches for data centers, discuss new and novel tools to demonstrate compliance, and provide regulatory perspective on these topics.

Part 1: Data Centers, the Rise of AI, and Environmental Site Selection
Wednesday, September 24, 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm ET

Environmental site selection for data centers is a complex process beyond the initial consideration of land and reliable power availability, along with the proximity to fiber optic hubs. As the demand for power and data processing continues to grow, additional complications are now surfacing with the desire for onsite generation and the repurposing of brownfield sites becoming more attractive. Brownfield industrial sites often have necessary infrastructure already in place including high-capacity power lines and transportation network, but they may also come with pre-existing environmental conditions. As these centers grow in size to accommodate growing capacity and power needs, other factors such as wetland permitting, noise considerations, and air quality permitting also become more complicated. The webinar covers data center market growth and the rise of AI, its impact on environmental site selection, and provides an overview of the site selection process.
