Announcement of Requirements and Registration for a Prize Competition Titled: More Water Less Concentrate- Stage 1.
Document Number: 2016-29723
Type: Notice
Date: 2016-12-13
Agency: Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation
This Challenge seeks to identify innovative solutions to expand usable water supplies by maximizing fresh water production from inland desalination systems in a cost effective and environmentally sound manner. Currently, significant and desirable water supplies are trapped in concentrate streams that are a byproduct of desalination technologies. The cost to manage or dispose of concentrate is rather large and very limiting to utilization of desalination in inland applications. This is Stage 1 of a planned three-stage Challenge, with the second and third stages consisting of prototype demonstrations in lab and field settings and larger prize purses.
