Description

Reverse osmosis is a water treatment process that forces water through an extremely fine membrane to remove dissolved minerals. Purified water passes through the membrane and collects in a storage container. Small household reverse osmosis systems will produce 1 to 5 gallons of water per day. If total dissolved solids is greater than 2,000 ppm, or more than 5 gallons of water per day is required, a booster pump will be required.

Description

Bitumen produced from Alberta's oil sands must be upgraded into synthetic crude oil before it can be processed by oil refineries. A number of companies have proposed to construct upgraders in Alberta's Industrial Heartland. These upgraders consume large quantities of water for process, cooling and other demands. This study provides an analysis of water volumes and qualities needed for the upgrading process, and outlines a process to select Best Available Technology Economically Achievable for upgrader wastewater treatment. The results of the study are intended to help regulators and other interested parties assess the impacts of proposed upgrader projects.

Description

This report summarizes the findings of the Waterworks Facility Assessment Study that was undertaken to identify short-term and long-term solutions to source, treatment and operational challenges in the supply of safe, secure drinking water in the Province of Alberta. One of the key objectives was to examine the potential for expanding the role of regional water delivery with a resulting reduction in the number of "stand-alone" water facilities. The intent being that a reduction in the total number of water treatment facilities in the Province would correspondingly reduce the number of systems at risk and through economies of scale improve the level of service to the public.
