WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

SWMOA is dedicated to educating and training owners and operators of membrane systems and always tries to bring valuable information to our members. The 2018 Annual , “Maximizing Membrane Efficiency: Drought or Not the Southwest Must Be Water Wise” opens with a fantastic slate of speakers kicked-off by our Keynote Speaker, Tim Barr with his presentation “Outsmarting the Drought: Proven Water Conservation Strategies” in an opening session focused on membrane strategies along with a regulatory update by the California’s State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water. Day Two will include presentations on Operations & System Performance followed by two plant tours, one potable one recycled. Day Three will start off with the popular Interactive Operator Round Table Discussion and will conclude with a session on Lessons Learned - Chemical Analysis and Case Studies. These sessions along with time to share and network should make the 2018 Symposium a great event.
