Goals of the ADC
1. Demonstrate affordable desalination using innovative technologies & processes
2. Create a body of data that can guide & benefit future designs
3. Educate the public to show that desalination is an affordable, viable source of fresh water

ADC’s work has included three different phases
1. ADC 1: Demonstrating actual SWRO energy using conventional pretreatment and full-scale commercial technology (May 2005 - April 2006)
– Funded by ADC members
2. ADC 2: Further demonstration using alternate pretreatment and RO membranes (Jan - Nov 2009)
– Funded by Prop 50 and ADC members
3. ADC 3: Brackish RO concepts– Collier County, FL (June – Dec 2006)– Funded by TWDB and ADC members (Feb - Dec 2010)

Impact of Feed Pump - Scalability
• PD Pump Selected for ADC– High efficiency– Pulsating flow
• Centrifugal Pumps Used for Larger Trains– Low efficiency for small
pumps– Smooth flow
• Pressure Center Design– May reduce power @ low flow
rates
• 50 MGD Case Study– 5.9 to 8.9 kWh/kgal
• 10 MGD Case Study– 6.6 to 9.8 kWh/kgal

Conclusions
• Flux & recovery impact permeate quality• Low energy SWRO membrane has lowest cost, but
poorest permeate quality• Due to size and type of pump, 10 MGD plant less
efficient– 10 MGD – 6.6 to 9.8 kWh/kgal– 50 MGD – 5.9 to 8.9 kWh/kgal
• ADC’s design power by – 10 MGD – approx. 30% over industry perception– 50 MGD – approx. 40% over industry perception – Low = 5.98 kW-hr/kgal

Conclusions (cont.)
• Recovery of 50% resulted in lowest NPV • Improving boron/TDS rejection results in higher energy
use & treatment cost• SWRO is competitive with other supply options in
California– 10 MGD
• $1,552 to $1,820/AF
– 50 MGD• $794 to $966/AF

Recommendations
• Data must be taken in context of raw water quality (i.e., temperature)
• Designers must consider public values when establishing design water quality (i.e., boron)
• Future Work– Pretreatment– Higher Recovery– Long Term Testing– Economy of Scale – Large Diameter Elements
