Emergence of Non-Proprietary Membrane Filtration
Systems Offers Opportunities and Challenges for
Water Treatment Plant Upgrades
2:00–3:30 p.m.
Room: Mandalay Bay Ballroom D
Track: Advances in Water Treatment
Moderator: Mark White
This session provides an overview of various non-proprietary
options for upgrading WTPs with MF/UF membrane systems.
