The New Mexico State University will conduct a risk and toxicology assessment of innovative produced water treatment technologies under a $309,992 cooperative agreement from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation. The assessment is part of the Bureau's Water Desalination Research and Development program, which seeks to augment usable water supplies and understand environmental impacts. Specifically, New Mexico State University will evaluate the efficiency of a membrane distillation...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Water Desalination Research and Development Program (CFDA 15.506) seeks to address two key challenges: brine management and greenhouse gas emissions from cement manufacturing. The $312,777.83 award to New Mexico State University (NMSU) aims to develop an innovative approach that precipitates calcium hydroxide from impaired waters, which can then be used as a primary ingredient in a...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation provides $497,339.95 in funding to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) to develop an innovative hybrid membrane process for simultaneous recovery of clean water and lithium from high-salinity brines. The project aims to address challenges associated with the disposal of large volumes of high-salinity brines through a membrane distillation-crystallization system for...
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, under the Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504), awarded a $986,750 Project Grant to the Laguna Madre Water District. The funding will support a feasibility study to assess the development of a seawater desalination water treatment facility. This facility could significantly reduce the water district's reliance on the Rio Grande and accommodate increasing water demands in the Cameron County community, while ensuring population growth...
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $731,000 Project Grant under the Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504) to the Gulf Coast Water Authority (GCWA) to conduct a feasibility study for a large-scale regional seawater desalination supply project. This study aims to evaluate the potential for GCWA, a major water provider serving municipal, manufacturing, and irrigation users in the San Jacinto-Brazos Coastal and Lower Brazos River...
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $235,400 Cooperative Agreement under the Water Desalination Research and Development program (CFDA 15.506) to Mickley & Associates LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, to identify and gather detailed information on 50-70 U.S. municipal desalination facilities built since 2017 or planned through 2025. The project will document the facilities' concentrate disposal practices, treatment processes, source water,...
