Beginning July 2020, AMTA is offering Technology Transfer Online – its first-ever virtual training and education series – available live and on-demand. In addition, AMTA is partnering with AWWA to offer a summer Membrane Master Class, featuring leaders and innovators in the membrane technology and the latest topics.
Covering the up-to-date and relevant membrane-focused subject matter, each 90-minute session will feature presentations by panels of experts, followed by questions and answers. CEU credit is available for specific states, pending approval. We look forward to seeing you online!
Upcoming Sessions
Membrane Plant Response and Preparedness for Pandemics
AMTA Technology Transfer Online
July 21, 1 PM Eastern
Continuing to provide clean water during a pandemic is critical to the health of a community. A panel of membrane plant utility managers will discuss the planning process and response to COVID-19, including the impact to operations, staffing, and maintenance activities, along with lessons learned.
Featured Panelists: Jill Miller, City of Bozeman WTP Superintendent; Mehul Patel, Orange County Water District’s Executive Director of Operations; Rebecca Wilder, Town of Jupiter Utilities’ Senior Engineer; Andrea Rogers, Keokuk Municipal Waterworks’ General Manager.
The Role of Membranes in PFAS Removal
AMTA-AWWA Membrane Master Class Series
July 30, 1 PM Eastern
Growing concern about the presence of highly fluorinated chemicals (PFAS) in drinking water has brought increased recognition of broader emerging contaminants issues. Join experts as they talk about detection, membrane removal technologies and concentrate disposal concerns related to the application of advanced treatment for PFAS removal.
Featured Presenters: Mehul Patel, Orange County Water District (Moderator); Eugene Rozenbaoum, LG Chem; Eva Steinle-Darling, Carollo Engineers, Inc.; Terence Reid, Aqua-Aerobic Systems
Best Practices for Improving MF/UF Operations
AMTA-AWWA Membrane Master Class Series
August 6, 1 PM Eastern
Microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membrane processes are used in conjunction with various unit processes to provide a high level of particulate, turbidity, and microorganism removal for the production of drinking water. This webinar will discuss approaches to solving a variety of operational challenges learned from years working with and around membrane systems.
Featured Presenters: Randal Braker, Duck River Utility Commission (Moderator); Scott Freeman, Membrane Medic; Richard Stratton/Randy Houston, HDR; Omogbemiga Talabi/Don Henderson, City of Scottsdale
Membrane Treatment Provides Pathogen Removal Credits
AMTA-AWWA Membrane Master Class Series
August 11, 1 PM Eastern
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are able to produce high quality effluent with improved solids handling in a smaller footprint than conventional activated sludge processes. Presenters will discuss the implementation of MBR systems in potable reuse application and results of studies evaluating log removal values for meeting future regulations.
Featured Presenters: Monica Pazahanick, Hazen and Sawyer (Moderator); James Vickers, Separation Processes, Inc.; Amos Branch, Carollo Engineers, Inc.; Christopher Morrow, DuPont Water Solutions
Concentrate Management
AMTA-AWWA Membrane Master Class Series
August 13, 1 PM Eastern
Given the challenges of concentrate management, it is prudent to explore all beneficial use options early in project planning or through studies and field testing. A combination of methods linking more conventional options with beneficial use may provide redundancy, reliability, and potential cost savings. Join experts as they explore alternatives for solids produced by conventional and high-recovery methods.
Featured Presenters: Jonathan Brant, University of Wyoming (Moderator); Robert McCandless, Brown & Caldwell; Gil Hurwitz, Black & Veatch; Ethan Demeter, Magna Imperio Systems Corp.
Ceramic and Polymeric UF Membranes
AMTA-AWWA Membrane Master Class Series
August 18, 1 PM Eastern
Ceramic and polymeric membranes are increasingly used in a broad range of applications due to their resilient material of construction and ability to operate under intense circumstances. This session will take a look at performance comparison of a ceramic membrane filtration system and a traditional polymeric membrane system, pre-treatment influences on operational parameters and lessons learned from the commissioning of both a ceramic membrane system and a polymeric system.
Featured Presenters: Andrea Achilli, University of Arizona (Moderator); Yue Sun, Adurra Group; Matthew Erickson, AE2S; Daniel Dye, WesTech Engienering, Inc.
Innovative Operations: Reverse Osmosis
AMTA-AWWA Membrane Master Class Series
August 20, 1 PM Eastern
In this session presenters offer alternative and innovative methods for operating reverse osmosis membranes that show promise for improved maintenance and performance.
Featured Presenters: Russ Swerdfeger, DuPont Water Technologies (Moderator); Jana Safarik, Orange County Water District; Jonathan Brant, University of Wyoming; Alan Sharpe, LANXESS Corporation
Enhanced Recovery
AMTA Technology Transfer Online: Six-part Series
August 25, 27 & September 1, 3, 8, 10, 1 PM Eastern
Recognizing the need to build institutional knowledge about the expanding array of options, this unique six-part educational series will focus on enhanced recovery strategies for membrane systems, including technology overviews, applications and implementation. Join one or all of the sessions!
