NENASF FALL WEBINAR SEPTEMBER 2025

The New England Chapter once again was pleased to offer a Wastewater Continuing Education Webinar for the benefit of our membership, and open to the entire metal finishing community. The event took place on Wednesday September 17, 2025 from 10:00am to 12:00pm. This educational webinar was offered at no charge to NENASF members as a benefit of Chapter membership.
Almost forty attendees from the metal finishing community were in attendance.
As was the custom, the program was comprised of three speakers offering vital technical and regulatory compliance information key to the metal finishing community. All attendees were eligible for two Wastewater Continuing Education Contact Hours awarded by the Mass DEP.
Brock Helton, the Preventive Maintenance Manager from Crossair, LLC gave the opening presentation. His focus was on the latest exhaust fan and fume scrubber technologies with an emphasis on proper preventive maintenance to keep these units running properly to achieve peak compliance results.
This was followed with a presentation by John Tracy, VP of Global Business Development from Aclarity, who offered a presentation on the current very fluid regulatory climate on PFAS wastewater discharge regulations. John offered a unique remediation solution to PFAS removal in waste water through the use of electrochemical destruction.
The final speaker was Brittany McKinney from PAVCO who addressed the attendees on the benefits of various Trivalent Chrome Plating options as a replacement for traditional Hexavalent Chrome Plating processes that are currently in the cross hairs of regulatory agencies throughout the country.
The NENASF Chapter wants to once again thank our presenters for their time and expertise offered in an effort to enhance the knowledge and awareness of the metal finishing community. Also, many thanks to the dedicated NENASF members who work so hard to make educational events like this possible.
