Tularosa Basin National Desalination Research Center

Feasibility Study

12,500 desalination plants in the world

Supply 5.5 billion gallons per day(BGD) 1% of worlds drinking water

Reverse osmosis and distillation aremost common systems

Primary applications are for sea water

constant supply and easy disposal $10-15B investment expected in next 5

years to increase desalination by 1.5BGD

$70-80B investment expected in next 20years to increase desalination by 10

BGD (note: 1% increase in drinking water)

Even at this level of investment,desalination will not significantlyincrease drinking water supplies in 2020

Inland Desalination Technology Needs

US Saline Aquifers Inland desalination is a

major need Energy production, river

quality, potable water

Issues include brinedisposal, saline water

variability, energy use,process scale

Desalination costs must bereduced by a factor of 5-10depending on application

Needs and applications areinternational in scope,including Mexico borderregion

Focus on inland desalination research evaluate technologies that address

environmental issues of inland brinedisposal or eliminate brine

evaluate pretreatment technologies neededfor process efficiencies for range of inlandwaters, varying water chemistries, varyingwater contaminants, and produced water

cost-effective use of smaller-scaleapplications

application of renewable energy todesalination processes

Complement capabilities of othernational water treatment researchcenters

3.4-37.ppt

Identify research and developmentopportunities for a Tularosa Basinfacility

Identify a regional, national, andinternational role in desalination

Formulate how Tularosa Basin facilitywould complement national watercenters

Develop technically and economically

sound facility design, and operation andmanagement plans

Complete draft study by June 2002

Develop facility design/build plan forOctober 2002 start

Sandia with Bureau of Reclamation/Denver Office ismanaging the feasibility study

Sandia is coordinating all technical support Consultant Livingston and Associates, Alamogordo

NMWRRI meeting coordination, web access of all publicinformation, public outreach, etc.

USGS resource availability support

Establish executive committee of regional and nationaldesalination and water resource experts to guide in thefacility vision and conceptual design

Executive committee met in January and March andtoured Tularosa Basin sites and pilot desal operations

Consultant has toured Yuma and Sandia for lessons

learned on desalination and renewable energy testing WRRI has started web site and will have information

available by June 1

30% design review April 12, 60% design review May 22,

and 90% design review in June Discussions initiated with Physical Science Lab and

WERC at NMSU about future operational support
