20 interest PUB in CeraMac PUB in near future relies on desalination, water re-use and surface water treatment In all these treatment process low pressure membrane filtration plays an important part PUB operate at the moment the world s biggest polymeric ultrafiltration plants operational challenges/difficulties at all of them 20

21 interest PUB in CeraMac prove of technology advantages ceramic membranes CeraMac process determine realistic capital and operational costs determine and optimise pre-treatment conditions determine water recovery experience in operation develop important data and knowledge for a full-scale design 21
