WEFTEC & RemTEC Attendance

During October, Synergen Met was pleased to attend and exhibit at two important conferences in the USA, with several key relationships being further developed.

Dr Pradeep Shukla (Technical Advisor) and Sean Cole-Hunter (Senior Project Engineer) were on-site to actively promote Synergen Met’s PFAS removal and destruction process that leverages its proprietary, patented thermal plasma technology.

The team first headed to the RemTEC & Emerging Contaminants Summit which was held at the Westin Westminster in Colorado on 3-5 October 2022. RemTEC was sponsored by a variety of industry leaders including Geosyntec Consultants, EA Engineering, Science & Technology, and ECT2 Montrose Environmental Group.

Almost immediately following RemTEC, we launched an exhibit at the much larger WEFTEC conference, which was held in New Orleans from 8-12 October. With over 84 technical sessions, WEFTEC focused heavily on water quality and treatment.

WEFTEC was sponsored by innovative brands focused on water-based solutions including Blue-White, Xylem, and Arcadis, amongst others.

“It was fantastic to see and spend time with so many key leaders from around the world who are genuinely invested in making the world a cleaner place”, said Sean Cole-Hunter.

“We focused on sharing the key benefits and uses of our PFAS treatment technology, which we’ve spent more than ten years developing. Attendees from government and industry were excited that there is a solution available right now that can safely and completely concentrate, remove and destroy PFAS in liquid form”, he said.

Synergen Met is currently working with private investors to further execute its operational plan, following a successful trial project with a South East Queensland Council landfill site, where PFAS-containing leachate was effectively treated by Synergen Met.

At both events, attendees from around the world came together to continue the conversation around environmental sustainability, water and other resource security, and contamination treatment and prevention strategies.
