History On Napkins
One day, on a Bullet Train somewhere in
Japan, suffering from sake and beer poisoning,
two engineers conceived of Bandon Dunes, OR
on the back of a napkin…
Ten years later, in
a hotel
somewhere in
Seattle, suffering
from tequila
poisoning they
conceived of
Canyonville, OR
on the back of
another napkin…

TOP 5 OPTIMIZATION STRATEGIES
Strategies to reduce
cost and make
competitive with SBR
Optimization
Accurately size MBR portion of
process
Don’t be fooled by apparent
complexity of system
Maximize flat sheet operating
characteristics
Take advantage of existing facilities
Get your equipment representative
to lower sales commission

same. There are more
options now especially
for retrofit and
stormflow.
