TRRP Training: 2022 Program

presented by: GSI Environmetal Inc.

Texas Risk Reduction Program regulations (TRRP; 30 TAC 350) establish consistent risk-based protocols for assessment and response to soil, groundwater, or surface water impacts associated with environmental releases of regulated wastes or substances.

Presented by GSI Environmental Inc., this popular and informative training series is a must for professionals who need a working understanding of TRRP and those needing to stay up-to-date with the latest TCEQ TRRP guidance and policies.

TRRP Training Course (2 Days): Provides an overview of the TRRP framework and step-by-step training on property assessment and response action procedures established under the TRRP rule

Attendees will become acquainted with rules, key guidance and policies covering affected property assessments, protective concentration levels, and response actions.

Use of Colloidal Gas Aphrons to Remove Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances from Reverse Osmosis Concentrate

Congratulations to Jessica Alanis, Poonam R. Kulkarni, PE, Nicholas W. Johnson, PhD, PE, Hassan Javed, PhD, Victoria Ng, and Charles J. Newell, PhD, PE, BCEE, and their co-authors (Alexandra Farnell, John A. Connor) on the publication “Use of Colloidal Gas Aphrons to Remove Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances from Reverse Osmosis Concentrate” in Environmental Engineering Science.

The GSI team co-authored the article with the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD) (Eric D. Nelson, Bruce Mansell, Patricia Hsia, Mojtaba Farrokh Shad), and the University of Houston (Zanina Ilieva, and Hanadi S. Rifai).

The study evaluates colloidal gas aphrons (CGAs) as a treatment approach for removing PFAS from highly saline reverse osmosis concentrate. The researchers examined treatment performance under different operating conditions, and the results demonstrated removal of up to 97% of long-chain PFAS mass and 75% of short-chain PFAS.

The findings provide additional insight into the potential use of CGAs for managing PFAS concentrates through reverse osmosis treatment.

Congratulations to all the authors!
