How can we begin to break down the PFAS cycle in the wastewater treatment process? Andy Safulko at Brown and Caldwell says: Biochar! In this episode, Andy and host Blair Corning unpack the growing challenges that these “forever chemicals” pose to land application and what innovative alternatives might be on the horizon. What is the potential of transforming biosolids into biochar as a PFAS treatment? Can we bench test foam fractionation as a PFAS removal technique? This episode explores cutting-edge research that may result in PFAS destruction in biosolids.

In this episode of Innovation Flow, host Blair Corning taps into the story behind Project Green 2025 with Innovation Brewer Justin Fisher of Breckenridge Brewery, which was crafted with 100% purified water from the Colorado School of Mines’ Direct Potable Reuse trailer while hosted at SPR’s Pilot and Research Center.

Timed with World Environment Day on June 5, 2025, Project Green 2025 is part of a larger celebration including a river clean-up with Protect Our Rivers and a sustainability event at Breckenridge Brewery’s Farm House in Littleton, CO. Proceeds support ongoing river conservation efforts through Protect Our Rivers.

Tune in as Justin shares the science and strategy behind brewing with recycled water, why Helles Lager was the perfect pick, and how sustainability flows through every step of the process at Breckenridge Brewery.

Pure Potential: Colorado’s Path to Sustainable Water explores the challenges, research, and social acceptance surrounding potable reuse through the lens of a first-of-its-kind direct potable reuse (DPR) pilot trailer.

Blair Corning is joined by Dr. Tzahi Cath with the Colorado School of Mines to break down the science behind carbon-based advanced treatment (CBAT) and reverse osmosis (RO), creating a “testbed” for innovations in programming and technologies, and more in the DPR mobile demonstration trailer. Join us as we uncover the innovations driving water reuse and conservation across Colorado.
