ECU researchers receive $1.4 million grant to develop desalination system – United States Converting seawater into clean water will be the focus of a team from East Carolina University, thanks to a grant through the University of North Carolinaâs Research Opportunities Initiative. The $1.4 million grant will go toward the development of a no-waste, sustainable water desalination system. It is the first time that an ECU-led team has received an ROI grant since the program began in 2014-15. Kura Duba, assistant professor in the Department of Engineering and the principal investigator for the grant, said âIt is a very prestigious award and [âŠ] ECU researchers receive $1.4 million grant to develop desalination system – United StatesHIWI042020-08-04T15:02:00+02:00
USA Bureau of Reclamation Awards $3.62M for Desalination and Water Purification Research in 13 States ⊠Bureau of Reclamation Acting Commissioner Alan Mikkelsen announced today that Reclamation will provide $3.62 million to conduct laboratory and pilot-scale desalination and water purification research in 13 states. Sixteen laboratory projects, four new pilot-scale projects and one continuing pilot-scale project were selected. The $3.62 million in federal funding is being matched by $3.52 million in non-federal funds. âDesalination and water treatment provide a potential new source of water for communities throughout the West,â Mikkelsen said. âThe research funding provided today will enable new technologies to be studied to see if they can help improve the treatment [âŠ] USA Bureau of Reclamation Awards $3.62M for Desalination and Water Purification Research in 13 StatesDME GmbH2017-09-11T16:48:26+02:00
