Figure 2: Water Source Run Subsystem.
3.2.2 Water Production. The Water Production Subsystem (WPS) generates potable water for distribution to user facilities within the BEAR water system. The WPS has the capability to receive from the SRS or draw directly from a source. Water purification is accomplished by two 1500 gallons per hour Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Units (ROWPUs). Raw water input is distributed through a 125 gallon per minute diesel pump for storage in a 20,000-gallon storage tank then distributed through a series of hoses and fittings to interface with the ROWPUs. The potable water generated by the ROWPUs is distributed through another series of surface laid hoses and fittings configured to interface with a 20,000-gallon potable water storage tank. Byproducts from the water purification process, brine water and wastewater, are distributed to a 20,000-gallon storage tank. The brine/wastewater storage tank is interfaced to a 35 gallon per minute electric pump for distribution to a waste area. The WPS consists of 2 each, 1500-gallon per hour ROWPUs and associated equipment.
