CONFERENCE SUMMARY<br />
The purpose of this conference is to provide a forum for <strong>Photo</strong>-<strong>Cat</strong> Users, Potential<br />
Users, Consultants, Engineers, Regulators, and Scientists to network and update<br />
their understanding of the technology. The intent of the conference is to<br />
communicate experiences, raise questions, dispel myths and identify the current and<br />
future use of the <strong>Photo</strong>-<strong>Cat</strong> technology.<br />
The outcome of the Conference will be a greater awareness and competence of<br />
<strong>Photo</strong>-<strong>Cat</strong> as it is applied in Municipal, Industrial, and Remediation sectors. The<br />
conference will also quantify the sustainable benefit and the elimination of chemicals<br />
and waste streams.<br />
DATE & TIME<br />
Thursday, March 6 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.<br />
Friday, March 7 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.<br />
SPEAKERS, TOPICS & TOURS<br />
Speakers from Centers of Excellence, Engineers, Consultants, and Operators will be<br />
presenting on their experiences with <strong>Photo</strong>-<strong>Cat</strong>. The end of the first day will be<br />
topped off with a tour of the water treatment facility, its labs, and a <strong>Photo</strong>-<strong>Cat</strong> system<br />
demonstration. In the evening a reception will be hosted by Basin Water.<br />
LOCATION<br />
The conference will be located at the Southern Nevada Water Authority, 1350<br />
Richard Bunker Ave., Henderson, NV 89015.<br />

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?<br />
Learn from others why you want to consider <strong>Photo</strong>-<strong>Cat</strong> in current or future water<br />
projects. Operators and Water Treatment Executives will want to learn about <strong>Photo</strong>-<br />
<strong>Cat</strong>’s ability to:<br />
• Reduce DO in effluent for aquifer recharge<br />
• Decrease chlorine demand<br />
• Replace traditional water treatments<br />
• Reduce THMs<br />
• Remove EDC’s<br />
• Purify Chemical Free<br />
• 6+ log removal<br />
• Reduce system complexity<br />
• Reduce footprint<br />
• Eliminate and prevent bromate<br />
• Remote control and sustained durability<br />
• Ceramic membranes<br />
• Permitting / NSF’s<br />
• Triple Barrier Protection<br />
• Find out what progressive utilities are doing with <strong>Photo</strong>-<strong>Cat</strong><br />
• Difference between UV/TiO2 and <strong>Photo</strong>-<strong>Cat</strong><br />
• Provide multi-oxidative and reductive pathways<br />
The emphasis is on experience and capability, from a top level. Summary data will be<br />
presented. For in-depth discussions, networking will be encouraged.<br />

SELECTED TOPICS OF INTEREST<br />
WATER REUSE – SETTING A NEW STANDARD<br />
Are you looking at options to enhance the amount and quality of water you are able to<br />
treat for reuse, with less energy and chemicals? There are significant advances being<br />
made in this area. Learn of new ways to clean water that prevents treatment byproducts<br />
and removes EDC’s.<br />
REVERSE OSMOSIS PRE-TREATMENT–IMPROVED EFFICIENCY<br />
Pre-treatment with <strong>Photo</strong>-<strong>Cat</strong> removes contaminants that impede RO performance. This<br />
sets up the RO to do what it does best. Lengthen service intervals and membrane life<br />
with vast improvement in RO efficiency. What are the economic and sustainable factors<br />
showing this improvement? Get a better understanding of how to use <strong>Photo</strong>-<strong>Cat</strong><br />
upstream of the RO.<br />
DRINKING WATER TREATMENT – DESTROY & REMOVE!<br />
Significant technical advances allow chemical free, low energy, long life purification with<br />
little or no maintenance. Only Pure Water is output. Proven in the ground water<br />
remediation sector, <strong>Photo</strong>-<strong>Cat</strong> technology can be applied to drinking water treatment<br />
with the desired success. See how it is possible to reduce the complexity of your<br />
treatment process and control it with much greater efficiency yet maintain or decrease<br />
the amount of energy you consume. Are better than detection levels of contaminate<br />
removal possible? See how.<br />
CERAMIC MEMBRANES – KEEP THEM ON STREAM 24/7<br />
Discover how to get continuous 24/7 performance with CERAMIC MEMBRANES.<br />
Achieve the highest flux and longest duty cycle in the industry. Gain understanding from<br />
the most experienced operating ceramic membrane systems in North America.<br />
BROMATE ELIMINATION – STOP CREATING BROMATE<br />
Understand how BROMATE DESTRUCTION and PREVENTING BROMATE<br />
FORMATION is possible with <strong>Photo</strong>-<strong>Cat</strong>.<br />
