Pavco Opens New Technical Pilot Center in Charlotte

Under design and construction since mid 2012, Pavco has announced that their Technology Pilot Center is now fully operational in Charlotte, NC to further assist ongoing research, sales and service efforts.

Craig Pavlish, an owner of Pavco, said that the facility consists of over 40 process tanks and is designed for maximum pre and post plate flexibility, and offers a diverse offering of finishing processes include zinc, nickel, chrome, antimicrobial, copper, alloys and tin. The state of the art facility also grants the ability for quick modifications to the process lines to ensure maximum industry relevance.

This completes Pavco's third major capital improvement in 30 months dedicated to improving our technical department operations. For a tour of completed facility, please visit www.pavco.com under the "About Us, Welcome to Pavco" section.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #120: Electrochemical Destruction of Perfluorooctanesulfonate in Electroplating Wastewaters - April 2022-March 2023

This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers project work from April 2022 to March 2023 at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The overall objective of this work is to utilize a cost-effective reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) for the removal of PFAS from synthetic electroplating wastewater. Initial results for the oxidation of PFOA with three different catalysts are discussed.

The NASF-AESF Foundation Research Board selected a project addressing the problem of PFAS and related chemicals in plating wastewater streams. This report covers the ninth quarter of work (January-March 2023). In this report, we describe our work on evaluating the performance of PFAS degradation by electrooxidation using surface fluorinated Ti4O7 anodes in batch mode.
NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 7th Quarterly Report

The NASF-AESF Foundation Research Board has selected a project on addressing the problem of PFAS and related chemicals in plating wastewater streams, studying PFAS destruction via electrooxidation and electrocoagulation. Our last report described the results from experiments of EO with a Magnéli phase Ti4O7 anode on the degradation of eight perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs). In this seven quarter report, we describe work to further explore how the degradation of different PFAAs are related to their molecular structures.
