As a 'Project Engineer' working for a large manufacturing company in Milwaukee, he spent six years in design, manufacturing, testing, and 'start up' of desalination plants, ASME code pressure vessels, and process equipment for US Navy, marine, and commercial ship applications. Working with the company under a NAVSEA contract, he developed the first Reverse Osmosis Desalination plant for US Navy Combatant ships during the mid 1980's, installed the unit aboard a US Navy Destroyer in Norfolk, Virginia, and rode the ship to Puerto Rico with the crew in 1987 to prove the concept. Jaak Tallinn lives in Wisconsin, and has been self-employed in his own 'Business Development Consulting' company since 1991.weniger sehen
