Frederick Liberatore, who has been leading GE’s process membrane business for the past two years, has been given an expanded role as commercial domain leader for spiral-wound and flat-sheet membranes – water and process technologies.
In his expanded role for GE Power & Water, Liberatore will continue to focus on process membrane elements and also on brackish, seawater and flat-sheet membranes. His new role also will provide customer training and expanding the global membrane business.
After entering the membrane business in 1985 as project engineer for reverse-osmosis and ultrafiltration equipment for Desalination Systems Inc, Liberatore transferred to Osmonics Inc when it purchased Desalination Systems in 1997, and GE when it purchased Osmonics in 2003.
