About this award
The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $396,545.92 Cooperative Agreement to the Regents of the University of Colorado on November 21, 2023 through the Water Desalination Research and Development program (CFDA 15.506). This project aims to develop scalable, robust, surface-patterned microporous membranes designed for a membrane distillation process to treat highly concentrated brines. Key objectives include: (1) developing a roll-to-roll manufacturing method for 8-inch wide surface-patterned microporous membranes, (2) demonstrating long-term operation of a direct contact membrane distillation process for concentrated brine with anti-fouling and anti-scaling properties, and (3) conducting a technoeconomic analysis of the technology. This work supports the program's goals of augmenting the U.S. water supply and minimizing the environmental impacts of desalination.
Description
The project will develop a roll-to-roll method to manufacture 8-inch wide surface-patterned microporous membranes, demonstrate long-term operation of direct contact MD process of concentrated brine with antifouling scaling properties, and conduct technoeconomic analysis of the technology.
