Objectives of the ADC

Demonstrate affordable seawater desalination

using proven advancements and designs.

Provide a platform by which cutting edge

technologies can be tested and measured for their ability to reduce the overall cost of the SWRO treatment process

Educate that seawater desalination is an affordable

and viable source of fresh water.

CRA and SWP figures are for West Basin Municipal Water District (WBMWD) and according to Water Sources Powering Southern California, by Robert C. Wilkinson Ph.D., January 2004. Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) Process power is from the ADCs demonstration facility at the most affordable point and for the SWRO process only. This includes the power of the main HP pump and PX booster pump only with no allowance for intake, pre-filtration, conveyance or distribution. WBMWD Total Power includes intake, pre-filtration, SWRO Process, conveyance and distribution power for their proposed 20 MGD ocean desalination facility.
