*The Mullan Water Treatment
Plant (0.8MGD) has the same data as the above table and same plant
operators, was built at the same time, and is located 7 miles east.
The larger town, Wallace, has a population of approximately 800.
Initially, the design rated capacity of the Shoshone Water Treatment Plant
was 2.0 MGD. Both plants utilize Koch hollow fiber membranes in a 4-stage
mode (Wallace) and 3-stage (Mullan).

The Romicon® Hollow Fiber membranes are
anisotropic (asymmetric). The self-supporting membrane can be backflushed to maximize the
efficiency of the crossflow filtration process. This operating feature, combined with
chemical stability, ensures reliability and long life expectancy. The hollow fiber
geometry allows a high membrane surface area to be contained in compact modules providing
high capacity while utilizing minimal space.
