Dr. Gulshan Dhawan is the President of
Applied Membranes Company involved in consulting, engineering and design of water and
wastewater treatment systems. Dr. Dhawan has over 20 years of 'hands on" experience in
the development of ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis membranes, applications and
systems. Several hundred membrane systems designed and commissioned by Dr. Dhawan are
operating on such diverse applications as ultrapure water, sea water desalination,
dialysis, emulsified oily wastewater, maple, sap and gelatin concentration.
