Bob Bergman/GNV, vice president and technology fellow, received a well-deserved recognition by being inducted into the Global Water Intelligence (GWI) Museum of Desalination’s Desalter’ Hall of Fame. He was also given the American Membrane Technology Association (AMTA) 2012 Presidential Award for tireless service to the organization. Bob has specialized in membrane technologies for 35 years and is an internationally recognized leader in the membrane and desalting industry. His career encompasses 40 years of water treatment engineering, nearly 28 of those with CH2M HILL.

His Desalters’ Hall of Fame profile describes Bob as “the only man who could manage to get all major reverse osmosis membrane suppliers to sit down at the same table; and a leader of consortium membrane research and a leading engineer in his own right.”

“Having had the pleasure of working both for and with Bob throughout my entire career with CH2M HILL, I can think of no one who has more fully dedicated himself to the field of desalination,” commented Jim Lozier, global technology leader for desalination. “Bob has brought and continues to bring his vast knowledge, energy, and experience to each project he touches, no matter how small, both within our organization and to his many volunteer activities for AMTA, AWWA, and other water-related organizations.”
