Remied Celebrates 50 Years At Serfilco
Co-workers say he continues to be a great asset to the company and the industry that he has devotedly served for the last half century.
Charles Remied proudly celebrated his 50th anniversary with pumps and filtration system maker Serfilco on August 15.
Remied started his illustrious career manufacturing some of Serfilco’s first pumps and filtration systems, spending the first 12 years primarily in manufacturing and product development.
In 1974 Jack Berg, the iconic founder of Northbrook, IL-based Serfilco, suggested that he start making sales calls on the metal finishing shops in the Chicago area. And as they say, “The rest is history”.
Charles has spent the last 40 years calling on thousands of metal finishing, machine tool and printed circuit board manufacturers, sharing his product knowledge and assisting them with difficult filtration and pumping applications.
He has been an active member and officer on numerous trade organizations, both local and national. A tireless member of trade show, golf outing and special events committees, his Serfilco co-workers say Charles has always been willing to assist in planning the next “great” event.
Remied will continue as Special Projects Manager, sharing his expertise with his fellow Serfilco employees and the surface finishing industry.
His co-workers say he has been, and will continue to be, a great asset to the company and the industry that he has so devotedly served for the last 50 years.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 6th 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. This sixth quarter report covers the continued assessment of eight perfluoroalkyl acids PFAAs most commonly found in wastewaters, by electro-oxidation with a Magnéli phase Ti4O7 anode across a range of anodic potentials in solutions, exploring the reaction mechanisms. To summarize, the PFAAs start to exhibit degradation behavior when the anodic potential reaches a level where water oxidation occurs, suggesting that the hydroxyl free radicals generated via water oxidation play a role in PFAA degradation.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #120: Electrochemical Destruction of Perfluorooctanesulfonate in Electroplating Wastewaters – January – December 2023
This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers quarterly reporting for the year 2023 at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The objective of this work is to utilize a cost-effective reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) for the removal of PFAS from synthetic electroplating wastewater. Discussed here are the oxidation of PFOA with three different catalysts, development of a method for detecting PFAS, as well as work on 6:2-fluorotelomersulfonic acid (6:2 FTS) and electrodeposited bismuth/tin oxide catalysts.
