 Description : To&nbsp\;book your place on to this event\,&nbsp\;please cli
 ck here.\n\n\n\nThis Event has been jointly organised by IMechE\, the Euro
 pean Sealing Association and the European Hygienic Engineering &amp\; Desi
 gn Group (EHEDG). This is hosted by Process Industries Division and&nbsp\;
 promoted across the&nbsp\;Centres in the North West&nbsp\;and Yorkshire Re
 gions and\, the Aberdeen Area\, all part of the Process Industries Communi
 ty. \n\nPer- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) present unique challeng
 es and considerations for the process industry due to their widespread use
  in various industrial applications. PFAS are a class of synthetic chemica
 ls known for their water and grease-resistant properties\, making them pre
 valent in products such as firefighting foams\, surface coatings\, and man
 ufacturing processes. \n\nThis session is designed to provide invaluable i
 nsights into the challenges and considerations associated with PFAS in the
  context of industrial processes. Permeating a wide range of industrial ap
 plications\, PFAS demand a nuanced understanding of their sources\, enviro
 nmental implications\, and potential impacts on both human health and oper
 ational practices. \n\nJoin us as we delve into the latest research\, regu
 latory landscape\, and effective strategies for managing and mitigating PF
 AS in the process industry. This webinar serves as a unique platform for p
 rofessionals in the field to gain a comprehensive understanding of PFAS.\n
 \n\nIn addition to the general discussion on PFAS\, Christian Geubert from
  Angst+Pfister and European Hygienic Engineering &amp\; Design Group (EHED
 G) will explain the situation relating to the Water\, Food\, Drink and Pha
 rmaceutical industries. By using case studies\, they will highlight specif
 ic issues and the difficulties in finding non-PFAS seal replacements for u
 se with more aggressive ingredients. Highly flavoured food and drinks and 
 chemically diverse pharmaceutical mixtures are particular challenges for s
 eal manufacturers. The speakers and panel will take your questions from th
 e chat and answer them at the end of the session.\n\n\nClick here to see a
