Abstract
The new VARI-RO™ “Low Energyrd technology described in this paper can provide lower cost water desalination, as compared to conventional technology presently being used for large scale facilities. This paper compares the relative requirements of various desalination systems, including energy consumption and membrane element quantity. Water production cost savings in the range of $80 to $160 million over a five year period are projected for a desalination capacity of 100 MGD. These projections indicate that seawater can be desalted for a cost ranging between $800 and 1200 per acre-foot (AF), about $150 to $300/AF less than projections for present day technology.
