Multi-Source Raw Water Supply Development for a Proposed Reverse Osmosis Plant on New Providence Island, Bahamas
Reverse osmosis water treatment facilities in the Bahamas typically use water wells tapping seawater as a source of raw water supply. In order to reduce treatment costs for a site on New Providence Island, an investigation was conducted on a man-made lake containing brackish water utalizing the surrounding shallow groundwater system. The hydrogeolo...
Microfiltration System Monitoring & Optimization
The historical performance of a 1.5 mgd Memcor membrane filtration system installed in 1994 is presented. This system has continuously operated since that time. It is one of the first large scale membrane filtration systems installed in the USA as a public water system and services a private industry as well as neighboring homes. There are several...
Technical and Economic Analyses of Intake Options for the Proposed 700 L/s Tia Maria Seawater RO Treatment Facility in Southern Peru
The dry southern coastal region of Peru is water poor and mineral rich. Mining and processing metals such as copper require large quantities of freshwater which is a scarcity in the region. Copper economics are favorable for the development of desalination as a water resource. This presentation evaluates four intake configurations (open ocean, 2...
Feasibility Study for an Alternative Intake for a Proposed Seawater Reverse Osmosis Plant on Aruba
This paper reports on a hydogeological study for an alternative intake structure on wells rather than seawater to increase treatment plant efficiency. The improved raw water quality is expected to result in lower capital and operating costs for the Water-En Energiebedrijf WEB in Aruba....
Brackish Groundwater Supply for Desalination: Historical Lessons for Future Implementation
In many areas of the world, use of fresh groundwater and surface water resources is at or exceeds sustainable levels. Brackish waters offer a new source of potable supply in many areas. This paper investigates the various types of brackish waters available, and considers and implications for their use as a potable water source....
Deep Injection Well Disposal of Desalination Concentrate at Inland Sites: Opportunities and Challenges
Economical and environmentally sound disposal of desalination concentrate can be the critical feasibility issue for inland desalination projects where a surface water outfall is not possible. Deep well injection can be a viable means to permanently remove concentrate and other liquid wastes from the biosphere. However, deep well injection requires ...
Optimization of subsurface intake designs for seawater desalination facilities
Subsurface intakes are increasingly used for raw water supply to seawater desalination facilities because of their reduced overall costs and environmental footprints. The technical challenge for using subsurface intakes lies primarily in finding the optimal, system-specific solution that provides the required volume of water and meeting water qua...
