Workshops & Conferences:

DESALINATION WORKSHOP - Arlington, Virginia - May 6 & 7, 2003

The Office of Naval Research is sponsoring a workshop on water
desalination as part of a congressional program. The initial thrust
of the program is to develop an enhanced transportable water purification unit (Expeditionary Unit Water Purification System, EUWP) for military and humanitarian applicatons. A broader dynamic of the program is to conduct research on alternative and improved desalination technologies.

The purpose of the workshop is to prepare for a forthcoming Broad Agency Announcement, BAA, for seed programs in basic and applied research. It is envisioned that basic research seeds will be funded for novel desalination approaches that may entail considerable risks to achieve significantly reduced costs per gallon. Applied research seeds will be amed at attaining significant performance improvements in established desalinations systems as well as the various subcomponents.

The goal of these seed programs is to provide the preliminary data to justify an expanded on-going program.
