Members of the NASF New England Chapter were given the opportunity to learn the latest wastewater treatment technologies while fulfilling mandatory triennial Dot Hazmat and annual RCRA hazardous waste handling training at a four hour seminar offered for this training from 1:00 to 5:00 pm on February 9, 2017 at the Holiday Inn in Marlborough, Massachusetts.
David Joyce, wastewater treatment expert from Hubbard-Hall, gave the attendees a look at some emerging technologies when he addressed possible future uses for little known Zeolites and Chitosans as an aid in resolving some difficult wastewater treatment problems.
Jeff Mosholder of New Path LLC was the moderator and primary instructor of the seminar. He, along with Travis Porter and Max Forsythe from ENPRO Environmental, educated attendees on the many complex rules and regulations in place when handling hazardous materials and properly offering hazardous wastes for removal from a metal finishing facility.
A test was administered after the training session and certificates of completion were distributed to all who successfully completed the course and passed the test.
Educational opportunities as seen 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.

The NASF New England Chapter’s Executive Secretary Loretta Capalbo had her years of service to the metal finishing community recognized with the presentation of the NAMF Lifetime Achievement Award at an award presentation ceremony which took place at the New England Surface Finishing Regional Conference held this past November in Hyannis, MA. Over the past 20 years Loretta has been a stabilizing force within the New England Chapter, orchestrating chapter meetings, trade shows, seminars and weekend educational retreats. She did all this while handling all chapter financial interactions between member companies and the NASF National Headquarters, in addition to all necessary filling with State offices. Through all these sometime chaotic events, she has always managed to remain calm and bring her outgoing, congenial personality to the forefront. Loretta has truly been an outstanding, and much appreciated, asset to the New England Chapter, NASF, and the entire metal finishing community.
