Participant Testimonials

Membrane Equipment and Product Manufacturer’s Tour, Oct. 8, 2015

The Membrane Equipment and Product Manufacturer’s Tour was my first SWMOA event, and it was definitely worthwhile. The tour was well organized, insightful, and generally very informative. As an entry level engineer looking forward to working with membranes in the future, I found this tour to be a very interesting and productive learning experience.
