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.

I had a great time on the SWMOA Membrane Tour last week, Thursday, October 8th, 2015. Our Facility is running a pilot for potable reuse and it was great to get insight on how the membranes are made and how they can be tested and examined. It gave me great information to pass on to not only my operators, but the public on the technology behind the process. The cut away of the RO membrane from Toray is a great prop for our tours! I hope there are more opportunities for tours and workshops like this one so I can send my operators and they can see how these facilities are run and how the membranes are constructed. SWMOA staff was excellent in providing food and transportation and keeping us hydrated. Thank you so much!
