This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of Indian Wells Valley Water District in California's Mojave Desert, influent water characteristics, and a Zero LiquidDischarge (ZLD) Treatment Train. Pilot project objectives include: demonstrate feasibility of selectedtreatment train; demonstrate how primary reverse osmosis (RO) andsecondary electrodialysisreversal (EDR) can achievepredicted recovery with minimalfouling; and, evaluate the effectiveness of areversible RO configuration. Topics presented include: limiting the volume of brine for finaltreatment reduces cost; and, comparing water costs indicates thatcosts are reasonable given waterquality and inland location. Includes tables, figures.
