Full Description

This slide presentation outlines an evaluation of reverse osmosis (RO) and submerged ultrafiltration (UF) application in the case of Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD). The presentation outline includes:background information about EMWD;population growth since 2000;EMWD's water sources;EMWD's water treatment facilities;RO desalination facilities project;Perris Filtration Project;cost comparison between Perris DesalinationFacilities Project and Perris Filtration Facility; and,operations optimization projects includingPerris I and Menifee Desalination Facilities, Optimizing CurrentOperations and Perris Filtration Facility, capacity increase evaluation.Conclusions drawn were: EMWD is continuously challenged with IncreasedWater Demand Putting Pressure on its TreatmentPlants to Operate in the Most Optimized Modes;Continuous Improvements to the TreatmentProcesses Could Significantly Drop the TreatmentCost Over the Life of the Facility; and,as expected, the Treatment Cost at the RODesalination Facilities is Higher than the Cost at theFiltration Facility.However, in case of EMWD, these Two Costs Couldbe Comparable if Water is Bought from MWD at thePremium Rate of $550/af During Peak Time. Includes tables.
