OpportunityTitle: Desalination and Water Purification Research Program Pitch to Pilot for Fiscal Year 2022
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Federally funded research and development centers  Commercial or industrial organizations  Private entities
Description: The objectives of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) are to develop innovative and disruptive new technologies or processes to: Reduce the costs, energy requirements, and/or environmental impacts of treating impaired and unusable water to standards necessary for an identified beneficial use. Improve efficiency of water treatment processes&#8212;either by improvements to pre-treatment, post-treatment, monitoring, sensors, or other innovative process/technology. Increase effectiveness of reverse osmosis/nanofiltration concentrate management by reducing cost, energy, and/or environmental impacts. Treat brackish groundwater in a less energy-intensive way than current processes and technologies. Address costs, energy usage, and/or environmental impacts of seawater desalination, including intakes and/or outfalls Improve the detection, characterization, monitoring, separation, or destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and other contaminants of concern.
