ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL MID-WINTER SEMINAR CONDUCTED BY THE NEW ENGLAND CHAPTER
Members and guests of the NASF New England Chapter were once again given the opportunity to learn the latest processing techniques, wastewater treatment technologies and mandatory regulatory requirements at a half day seminar hosted by the New England Chapter of the NASF. The four hour seminar, which was preceded by a luncheon buffet, ran from 1:00 to 5:00 pm on February 15, 2018 at the Holiday Inn in Marlborough, Massachusetts.
Jeff Mosholder of New Path LLC was once again the moderator and primary instructor of the seminar. Jeff covered the mandatory annual RCRA training that is required by all who handle, or are responsible for, hazardous wastes at chemical and metal finishing facilities.
Pam Eliason and Alicia McCarthy of the Mass Toxic Use Reduction Institute located at the U-Mass Lowell Campus, conducted a segment on seeking alternative less toxic chemical replacements/substitutions for toxic substances used in processing through the use of their on-line P20Asys database. This is a very useful tool available for metal finishing/chemical use professionals who are looking for less toxic means of achieving a set processing goal.
Vipin Sumani and Tom Seguljic of HRP associates also presented a segment on how to achieve zero discharge from a metal finishing facility through the process of close loop waste water treatment and recovery. They demonstrated how this technology could be applied to all size facilities, not just small quantity / low flow operations.
Educational opportunities as offered in this seminar are just one of the many benefits of membership in a local organization like NENASF with strong national ties through the NASF.
