This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of conservation measures at the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) that included implementation of a multi-phase brackishgroundwater desalination (BGD) evaluation during 2005-2006.Phase 2, 2006-2008, included development of a feasibility study of BGD and detailedhydrogeologic evaluations.Phase 3, 2007-2009, implemented amembrane pilot study. Project objectives were to:provide sufficient backgroundinformation, operating and water qualitydata for design-build teams; and,enable SAWS to initiate the permitting ofthe final full-scale facility early in thedesign-build process. Testing protocol is presented, along with reverse osmosis (RO) treatment systems, the demonstration scale pilot, testing results, and membrane fouling. Includes tables, figures.
