This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560), provides $311,880.59 to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to demonstrate the use of hydrophobic ion-pairing to enhance the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from contaminated groundwater through a pilot-scale granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment system. The project aims to optimize the...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $483,623.40 and funded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Water Desalination Research and Development Program (CFDA 15.506), aims to optimize the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water and wastewater through enhanced coagulation and flocculation processes. The project, led by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), will investigate the use of hydrophobic ion-pairing as a...
The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $1,001,044.18 Cooperative Agreement to Carollo Engineers Inc. on August 24, 2023 under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560). The project will test an in-situ resin regeneration process using bicarbonate for potable water reuse applications. This approach aims to remove dissolved organic matter and inorganic anions such as nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and others from the water without producing the large...
Carollo Engineers Inc. will receive $1,470,078 from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Water Desalination Research and Development program (CFDA 15.506) from September 2022 through September 2025. Under this cooperative agreement, Carollo Engineers will develop advanced fault detection and process control methods for water reuse systems using reverse osmosis. In year one, the company will evaluate cutting-edge machine learning and statistical methodologies through...
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $391,660.68 Cooperative Agreement to the Regents of the University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside) under the Water Desalination Research and Development program (CFDA 15.506). The goal of this 2-year project is to test a novel vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light-driven photochemical process for treating nitrate and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from inland desalination brine. The project will develop an innovative VUV system to overcome...
The Rancho California Water District will develop a strategic plan for advanced wellhead treatment facilities to mitigate emerging per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination in the groundwater of southwestern Riverside County, California. Funded by a $800,088 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) program (CFDA 15.507), this 3-year effort will protect a critical...
Hazen and Sawyer, PC was awarded a $202,837.56 cooperative agreement from the Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560) to pilot an electrochemical oxidation system for treating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contaminated concentrate from a brackish water desalination facility. The pilot project will operate an electrochemical oxidation skid to treat PFAS impaired membrane concentrate from the Brackish Groundwater National...
