PFAS: Once overlooked, now unavoidable

– what you can do about it

Written By LS Wastewater & Process Consulting Ltd for Leachate Solutions

FAS, short for per – and

polyfluoroalkyl substances,

Phave become a major concern

for regulators and the water

industry, which means it will

now impact on your business.

Known as ‘forever chemicals’

due to their persistence

in the environment, PFAS

pose complex challenges

for manufacturers, water

authorities, and industrial

dischargers alike.

Through our associate consulting

company, LS Waste Water & Process Ltd,

– Leachate Solutions Ltd works closely with

clients across various industries to identify, assess,

and manage PFAS risks in wastewater and process systems.

Whether you’re in manufacturing, food processing, metal

finishing, or chemical production, PFAS may be silently

accumulating and contaminating your effluent streams, and

regulators are paying attention.

What is PFAS and why should you care?

PFAS are a group of thousands of synthetic chemicals used

for their heat resistance, water repellency, and non-stick

properties. They are found in everyday products, including

cleaning products, water-resistant fabrics (umbrellas,

raincoats), grease-resistant paper, nonstick cookware,

personal care products, (shampoo, dental floss, nail polish,

eye makeup), stain-resistant coatings (carpets, upholstery,

fabrics) and electronics.

While PFAS make products more durable, they also resist

natural breakdown. Once discharged to trade effluent,

sewer or foul drains and subsequently released into the

environment, often through wastewater discharge they can

easily contaminate groundwater, surface water, and soil.

More importantly, due to the bioaccumulation effect,

PFAS exposure has been linked to serious health concerns,

including developmental issues, immune system disruption,

and certain cancers.

For industrial operators, this presents issues with regulatory

compliance.

What’s the problem for industry?

In the UK and across Europe,

regulatory pressure is mounting.

The Environment Agency has

increased monitoring of industrial

discharges for PFAS compounds,

and tighter discharge limits are

anticipated under evolving UK

REACH, water and environmental

legislation. Water companies are

now seriously reviewing discharge

consents and analysing effluent

streams for PFAS contamination.

Industry are increasingly being held accountable

not only for their direct discharges but also for

contamination passed along through supply chains. This

means all industrial processes could be liable for current

and past PFAS discharges found in

their process wastewater. Ignoring the

issue is no longer an option!

What’s being done to sort this

problem?

Managing PFAS is challenging because

traditional wastewater treatment

technologies, like activated sludge or

standard filtration are not effective in

removing them.

However, several treatment and mitigation

strategies are emerging, including:

t Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)

t Ion Exchange Resins

t Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs)

t Membrane Filtration

The key is understanding whether you have a problem or not

and choosing the right solution for your site’s specific PFAS

profile, and that starts with a proper assessment.

How to start assessing if you have a PFAS issue

Many companies don’t realise they are discharging PFAS

until it’s too late, either due to regulatory enforcement or

reputational damage. The first step is awareness, and the

second is data.

At Leachate Solutions Ltd we offer a structured PFAS

Assessment Pathway:

1) Site review: We look at your processes, raw materials,

supply chain, and historical waste profiles to assess

PFAS risk.

2) Targeted sampling & analysis: Using accredited

laboratories, we conduct wastewater sampling focused

on key PFAS compounds.

3) Gap analysis: We compare your current wastewater

treatment against potential PFAS removal needs.

4) Strategic roadmap: A tailored action plan outlining

mitigation options, timelines, and cost-benefit scenarios.

5) Regulators: We can help work with your regulator

or Water Company to ensure agreement between all

parties.

This approach helps our clients stay ahead of regulation

and implement solutions that are pragmatic, scalable, and

cost-effective, without affecting your

day-to-day operations.

What needs to be done now?

If your business discharges process

water or trade effluent, even

indirectly, PFAS needs to be on

your radar. Proactive steps and

understanding now can prevent

expensive process changes or

remediation later. You’ll also

demonstrate your proactive response

to regulators, clients, and the public,

something increasingly valuable in

today’s Environmental, Social, and

Governance (ESG) driven economy.

Leachate Solutions Ltd have the technical expertise, sector

insight, and hands-on experience to help you navigate PFAS

risks confidently. Whether you’re looking to assess a single

site or standardise a PFAS strategy across multiple locations,

we’re here to help.

Don’t wait for your water company to ask the question

or for regulators to knock. Start your PFAS understanding

today, contact Leachate Solutions Ltd for a confidential

consultation.

The promising future of biogas with Pemo Pumps

In the quest for sustainable energy

solutions, biogas has emerged as a

significant contender. This renewable

energy source, derived from organic

matter such as agricultural waste,

manure, municipal waste, and plant

material, is poised to play a crucial

role in the global energy transition. For

Pemo Pumps, a leader in innovative

pumping solutions, the burgeoning

biogas sector presents an exciting

opportunity to showcase its advanced

technology and commitment to

environmental stewardship.

Biogas production involves the

anaerobic digestion of organic

materials, resulting in a mixture of methane and

carbon dioxide. This process not only generates

a valuable energy source but also helps manage

waste effectively, reducing greenhouse gas

emissions and mitigating climate change. The

versatility of biogas makes it suitable for various

applications, including electricity generation,

heating, and as a fuel for vehicles.

Pemo Pumps has long been recognised for its

expertise in handling challenging materials, such

as slurries and sludge, which are integral to biogas

production. The company’s pumps are designed

to manage the high viscosity and abrasive nature

of these materials, ensuring efficient and reliable

operation. This capability is fundamental in the

biogas industry, where the consistent movement

and processing of organic material are key to

maintaining productivity and output.

One of the significant challenges in biogas

production is the handling and transfer of sludge,

a by-product of anaerobic digestion. Pemo Pumps’

innovative designs, such as the AO/AB and AO/AB/

DC series, are particularly suited for this task. These

horizontal models with side suction capabilities are

designed to control pressure on sealing elements,

reducing wear, and extending the life of pumps.

This results in enhanced reliability and lower

maintenance costs, which are critical factors for

biogas plant operators.

Here are some key technical specifications: these

pumps’ flow rates can go up to 1,100m 3 /h, they are

capable of operating at pressures up to 21 bar, and

they are available in Hardalloy PEMO

(750-800), AISI, and Hastelloy C.

Moreover, Pemo Pumps’ dedication

to customisation ensures that their

solutions can be tailored to meet the

specific needs of any biogas facility.

Whether dealing with high-pressure

requirements or managing highly

corrosive and abrasive substances,

Pemo Pumps’ robust and versatile

designs offer the flexibility needed to

handle diverse operational challenges.

This adaptability not only improves

efficiency but also supports the

scalability of biogas projects, enabling

them to grow and evolve over time.

In conclusion, the synergy between biogas

production and Pemo Pumps’ advanced pumping

solutions amplifies the potential of innovative

technology to drive sustainable energy initiatives.

Innovative safety solutions for automated environments

n increasingly automated production and packaging

Ienvironments, safeguarding people remains a critical

concern. At Boplan, we offer high-performance polymer

safety solutions that help protect workers, infrastructure

and equipment in dynamic industrial settings.

While risk assessments, training, and signage play a key

role, physical protection is essential to prevent accidents.

Boplan safety systems are engineered for integration into

fast-moving, high-traffic zones – whether near conveyors,

robot cells, or loading docks.

Tailored safety for production and packaging lines

Automated production lines, high-speed conveyors, robotic

arms and AGVs bring efficiency – but also increase the

potential for accidents. Boplan offers modular safety

systems that seamlessly integrate into dynamic industrial

environments, helping you meet your safety targets without

compromising on workflow or space.

t Safety gates: Our self-closing gates and sliding or swing

gates provide controlled access to hazardous areas such

as pedestrian areas, machine zones, or maintenance

corridors. They are ideal for guarding operator access

points on filling lines, wrapping stations, or palletisers.

t Safety barriers with handrails: Designed to absorb the

impact of forklift or pallet truck collisions, these barriers

also guide foot traffic along designated walkways. This

dual functionality enhances spatial organisation and

reduces the risk of pedestrian-vehicle incidents.

t Handrails: Installed alongside internal transport

routes, production lines or mezzanines, handrails

clearly separate pedestrians from moving machinery

and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), contributing

to a safer working environment without interrupting

operations.

t Kick rails with handrails: Combining ground-level

impact protection with visible pedestrian guidance,

these systems are often used near case packers,

depalletisers and warehouse transfer points – where

low-level impacts are common but often overlooked.

Whether you’re designing a new packaging line or upgrading

safety in an existing facility, Boplan solutions adapt to your

layout and operational flow. Our safety systems are made

from advanced polymers that outperform steel in terms of

durability, corrosion resistance, and maintenance – ideal for

food-grade, chemical or cleanroom environments.

The DG250R AE: setting the standard for dock safety

Unveiled at PPMA 2025, the DG250R AE Dock Gate is a

Print & Packaging Update

How Focus Label printing machinery supports your

sustainability strategy

or the global label printing industry, the increasing

Ffocus of consumers and governments on

sustainability is a call to action. With every aspect of

the printing supply chain now under scrutiny, from the

biodegradability of substrates to the VOC content of

inks and the energy efficiency of printing presses, an

up-to-date sustainability strategy is an essential part

of future proofing your business. In this article, we’ll look

at how sustainability can be achieved effectively in the

print sector without compromising quality, cost control,

or efficiency.

Why sustainability is essential for print businesses

Consumer brands and printing businesses are often in the

spotlight for their environmental impact. This stems from the

high energy costs associated with many production processes,

as well as prevalent wasteful practices in packaging disposal,

and the carbon footprint of producing traditional printing

materials. Achieving greater sustainability is, therefore, a

multipronged approach for most label supply chains. Some

of the main strategies include:

t Designing for recyclability: Many labels now feature an

‘eco-conscious’ design that makes it easier for consumers

to separate labels from products to aid recycling, and

avoid multi-material labels that could make substrates

non-recyclable.

t Investing in energy efficient printing presses:

Reducing the energy consumption of your printing assets

makes sound financial sense as well as benefitting

the environment. Upgrading to more energy-efficient

machinery could deliver a good ROI in energy savings

without impacting your production line throughput. For

example, when considering a new Pressor upgrading

older UV equipment, why not look at the latest LED

drying option? Not only reducing VOC emissions, but also

reducing running costs with a less energy hungry press.

t Minimising substrate waste: There are various areas

in which waste can be reduced or eliminated in the

label printing process, and many of these have been

addressed by recent technology innovations. Basically,

only produce what you need, avoid overruns and

holding large stock quantities for call off. Digital and

hybrid printing technologies, for instance, avoid the

need for over production, try to separate plate making

and elaborate setups, which reduces the time and

energy associated with print management. At the

same time, lean inventory management processes

mean that businesses only order the substrates, inks,

and consumables that are required for each print run,

avoiding the costs associated with overstocking. Precision

Servo machinery, advance software, and recalibration

tools all contribute to less energy and fewer resources

being wasted during production.

How our label printing technology supports greater

sustainability

There are several ways that our modern digital label printing

machinery can support your sustainability initiatives, including:

1) Planned production: Advance planning to ensure ALL

orders can be produced on the specified time & day.

There is nothing more wasteful than a press ready to go

only to find an element of production is missing, be that

Inks, Plates or even substrates.

2) Multi-substrate compatibility: Our presses work with a

variety of eco-friendly materials, including FSC-certified

paper and biodegradable film, are recycled substrates a

possible option to win business?

3) Automation: The goal of automated print technology is

to reduce setup time and material waste. From precise ink

delivery mechanisms to automated alignment systems, our

Flexo & digital label presses help you conserve resources

and make each run more sustainable and cost-effective.

4) Personalised sustainability support: We can help you

rethink your production strategy, providing tailored insights

on how you can integrate eco-friendly technologies into

your business model and production goals.

5) Hybrid printing solutions: Our digital label presses

combine the best features of flexographic and digital

printing, helping control energy and carbon emissions on

both large-scale and small batch print runs, plus Variable

data and Personalisation.

The cloud technology that is built into the

Quantum instruments allows health and safety

practitioners to connect multiple noise monitors

on one account, allowing for data from each

noise monitor to be viewed and assessed

on one platform. This creates a network of

interconnected instruments, whose data can be

viewed and analysed side-by-side, removing the

need to download information from separate

handheld instruments one-by-one.

Noise Monitoring Update

Take sound to the cloud with Quantum from Cirrus Research

t Create numerous audio triggers and notifications

based on your personal set of conditions for acceptable

noise emissions, and receive these notifications via

email, SMS or push notification.

t Use the frequency analysis screen on the Quantum

portal to further view and analyse your noise data and

better understand the exact nature of the noise.

t Create detailed reports directly though the Quantum

portal based on direct data captured by your Quantum

Indoor units.

or more than five decades, health and safety

Fpractitioners have turned to noise monitoring

equipment such as handheld sound level meters and

personal noise dosimeters to assess noise levels in the

workplace. However, with more and more businesses

choosing to operate from multiple sites as opposed to

across one site, it’s possible that these more traditional

methods of noise measurement and monitoring may no

longer be the most efficient.

Quantum; the future of noise measurement

Quantum Indoor from Cirrus Research is a powerful noise

monitoring solution with built-in cloud connectivity, perfect

for continuous occupational noise monitoring, identifying

the source and type of noise that is occurring, and

highlighting where noise control measures are required.

With this instrument, it has never been easier to measure

and monitor workplace noise continuously and remotely

across one or multiple sites.

Additionally, Quantum indoor provides a

constant ear to the ground, offering live

and historical data round-the-clock that

practitioners can access from anywhere, at

any time and on any device. Whether users are

on the other side of the planet to where the

instrument is installed, or they’re stood in the next room,

the data is always accessible on demand via the online

Quantum portal, powered by MyCirrus.

With a network of cloud-connected noise monitors, the

need for users to be physically on-site to measure noise

levels is vastly reduced. Cloud-connected monitors, such

as Quantum Indoor, can be installed and left to do their

jobs completely unattended. They can then be configured

remotely to send users real-time alerts when noise events

occur, which provides greater control to health and safety

practitioners in the workplace.

Breather valve testing

There is a common misconception that all breather

valves are rigorously tested to a certain standard

before they are sold, but unfortunately, this is

definitely not the case. Many breather valves on the

market are not subject to stringent testing protocols,

leading to significant safety and operational risks.

When these untested and, more importantly,

unsafe breather valves are procured, the end user

unknowingly takes on many risks.

It is crucial to know the facts by conducting

thorough due diligence from the initial purchase

and throughout the entire lifecycle of the unit. First,

ask yourself: Are your breather valves set correctly?

Incorrect settings can lead to valve malfunction,

causing potential overpressure or vacuum conditions

that could compromise tank integrity. Are your

breather valves performing safely? Regular testing

ensures they function within safety parameters,

preventing hazardous situations.

Do you know your breather valve leak rates, and is

your media hazardous, flammable, costly or toxic?

Understanding leak rates is vital for environmental,

occupational health and safety compliance. Do they

function as per intended design and specification,

and do they meet the set point? This ensures that

valves operate as required under specific conditions.

Has your breather valve been tested in accordance

with API2000 Section 5.4? Compliance with this

standard guarantees that valves meet industry

requirements. Do you monitor your

breather valves as part of your

aging plant management plan?

Regular monitoring can identify

wear and tear before it leads to

failures. Lastly, are you confident

that all your breather valves

maintain optimum efficiency and

performance? Ensuring this can

prevent costly downtime and

environmental hazards.

The only irrefutable test method

is using the Vent-Less test bench.

This groundbreaking technology is

revolutionising testing, ensuring that breather

valves are tested prior to installation and during

Vibration Monitoring Update

the life term of the unit. The award-winning

Vent-Less test bench aligns with the API2000

Section 5.4 test protocol, and the instantly

generated certification stands up to

regulatory scrutiny. The documented

leak rate is also invaluable for

LDAR, IED, and Regulation 61

reporting. These questions

are critical for assessing your

vulnerabilities and ensuring

the safety and efficiency of

your operations. Don’t leave

it to chance – make sure your

breather valves are thoroughly

tested and maintained using the

Vent-Less test bench.

New UNISIG operating system streamlines the

human-robot interface

Representing a leap forward in programming,

UNISIG’s next-generation operating system

further improves the human-robot interface

and slashes programming times.

The new operating system, featured on UNISIG’s

UNE6-2i-750-CR small-diameter gundrilling machine,

streamlines the setup of dozens of different part

handling combinations to reduce new part setup times

by 80% or more. The system significantly improves

the communication between the machine’s human

machine interface (HMI) and the robotic controller. This

enables centralized data storage or a single source

of truth – the coding and data for the gundrilling

operation and the program for the part handling are

stored together for ease of recall.

Because it works within a parametric programming

environment, the new operating system automatically

adjusts its parameters to any dimensional part

changes, without the need to manually calculate and

enter in new parameters. Such intelligence eliminates

the need to start over and create entirely new and

independent programs, while greatly simplifying and

shortening programming times for part families.

The UNE6-2i-750-CR gundrilling machine with

integrated robot ships with a handheld programming

console/teach pendant connected to the machine.

Prior to the use of parametric programming, all part

handling operations were pre-programmed using the

pendant. Users can now enter & store all machine &

robotic parameters in the machine HMI. This allows for

a more centralized user

experience and greatly

reduces the depth of

robotic experience

required.

The machine HMI has

built-in parametric

selection guides,

allowing users to toggle

between data entry

and the programming

guides. Each data value,

and its function, are

graphically displayed

in the on-screen

programming guide.

This prevents the guide

from being misplaced

and makes it available

at all times, which is

especially advantageous when periodically adding new

parts involving large time gaps between them.

The UNE6-2i-750-CR with integrated robotic automation

also features interchangeable part trays. The robot

services both the machine’s spindles and accommodates

drilling of different diameters from each end.

The optional lantern chuck system on this machine

model allows workpiece loading into the rear of an

automatic collet chuck to ensure accurate workholding,

especially for uniquely shaped workpieces.

UNISIG’s UNE6 Series of precision gundrilling machines

generate holes from 0.8mm to 6.0mm (0.03” to

0.24”) in even the most challenging of materials.

Such capability makes the machines well suited for

a wide range of applications, including medical part

manufacturing.

Further information on all machines and the

complete UNISIG machine program is available at:

www.unisig.com or follow the company on LinkedIn

and Twitter (@UNISIG). You will also meet us at the

EMO 2025 show in Hannover, Germany, from 22nd-

26th September.

starting with an audit of the current processes. We then

measure tool vibration magnitude in compliance with

BS EN ISO 5349-2 and BS EN 8041 to create an asset

database of tools and use unique sampling methodology of

vibration exposure to produce a suitable and sufficient risk

assessment for our clients.”

“Furthermore, our trademarked

HAVi ActivIQ and HAVsRiskIndex

make it easy for our clients to

by providing bespoke insights.

Underpinning all of this,

is our bespoke training

and engagement activity

to ensure that the

clients project succeeds,

maximises ROI and most

importantly, the workers

Oil, Gas & Offshore Update

Rotork supplies actuators for an automated ‘Next

Generation’ fully electrified offshore gas platform

Rotork has supplied over 200 actuators to ONE-Dyas

for the N05-A upstream gas processing platform,

located in the Dutch North Sea.

The Skilmatic SI intelligent self-contained electrohydraulic

actuators, IQT3 Pro intelligent part-turn

electric actuators and CVA continuous unrestricted

modulating actuators will support the electrification

and automation of the platform.

HSM Offshore was contracted to build N05-A – which

will turn upstream wet natural gas into dry natural

gas for pipeline export – by Dutch exploration and

production company ONE-Dyas.

The next generation platform, scheduled for production

in the winter of 2024/2025, is expected to reach ‘near

zero’ operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and will

be the North Sea’s first fully electrified gas production

platform. Electrification is central to ONE-Dyas’ nearzero

strategy, with power primarily supplied by a nearby

German offshore wind farm, Riffgat.

Reduced maintenance visits and limited unplanned

helicopter flights also form part of the near-zero

initiative. The platform will be fully automated

High-pressure upstream gas pipelines

and normally unmanned, with all plant equipment

controlled autonomously. Reliability is also key to

reducing unplanned visits to the platform, and digital

solutions further supports reliability and availability

of assets.

The energy efficiency of Rotork’s actuators will further

support the near-zero emissions target. Electric

actuators only consume power when in operation,

unlike pneumatic actuators and controls, which need

a constant supply of either gas or locally produced

compressed air.

Rotork performed a factory fit of the Skilmatic SIs with

free issued valves for the N05-A project, which were

fitted and calibrated at Rotork’s Rotterdam Service

Centre then shipped to the HSM Offshore yard.

that prevents oxygen and moisture

from attacking the metal substrate. This

formula can work alongside existing

coatings that have deteriorated due

to mechanical damage or serve as a

preventative solution for new applications.

Margel corrosion solutions have been

utilised within the UK and internationally,

providing protection for oil lines, marine

vessels, and large structural assets. The

formulation can be adapted to meet a

variety of corrosion challenges.

In conjunction with Margel, Proclad Plus 350

has served as the external weatherproofing

solution, offering external protection to any

insulated system. Come and visit our stand
