Bord na Mona President Speaks at Conference; Peat Named Director
Decentralized membrane-based treatment solutions are the key to solving future water restrictions, Shane Kearney, president of Bord na Mona Environmental Products U.S. Inc. told attendees at the WEFTEC Conference in October. “Many current municipal wastewater treatment systems are large centralized works that waste the water resource rather than reuse it and consume large amounts of energy to move wastewater from the source to the treatment plant,” he said. Kearney added that there is a need for treatment solutions that deliver reduced complexity, have a small footprint and are easily constructed within buildings to minimize aesthetics and odor concerns.
Raymond Peat also has been named director of business development for Bord na Mona Environmental Products U.S. Inc.’s North American residential and commercial wastewater and water reuse treatment systems.
