EUWP 100K GPD Demonstrator

• DESIGN CONCEPT
• Two ISO/LHS compatible skids
• - Prefiltration
• - Desalination
• Weight savings from aggressive design
• - Energy recovery - resulting in reduced energy
  consumption and smaller HP pump.
• - High flux, high recovery RO resulting in
  smaller cube and weight
• STATUS
• Contract awarded 11 Jul 03.
• Design underway.
• CDR conducted on 18-19 Nov 03.
• IPRs conducted 24 Feb, 2 Jun 04
• Next IPR scheduled for 20 July 04

• OBJECTIVES
• Develop a 100,000-gallon per day, C-130
  transportable water purification unit to provide
  strategic level water production capability,
  humanitarian aid, and disaster relief.
• 100K demonstrator provided to the Tularosa Basin
  Water Research Facility Alamogordo, New Mexico
