These new deals, the company reported, will maintain its sales backlog for water treatment projects at US$ 38.6 million excluding its PWT, Piedmont and H2O Innovation Maple businesses. H2O Innovation has won design, manufacturing and commissioning contracts of complete process water treatment systems with two US energy sector companies. One contract is to supply an ultrafiltration (UF) system to a power plant located in New Jersey to treat secondary effluent to produce 1,420 m 3 / day of process water for cooling towers and boiler applications. The system will integrate H2O Innovation's FiberFlex technology that enables the user to interchange membrane modules. And H2O Innovation is supplying a second system to a refinery in New Mexico and will produce 1.9 m 3 /min) of process water using reverse osmosis (RO). The system will be installed on the concentrate stream of a primary RO unit and will act as a brine concentrator to capture useable water from a waste stream. H2O Innovation's team is currently working on the engineering and design phase for a wastewater treatment system for a municipality in Saskatchewan, Canada. Also in Canada, the company has won a nanofiltration water treatment project for the municipality of Sainte-Marthe-sur-le- Lac, in Quebec. The system, to be designed, manufactured and commissioned by H2O Innovation, will produce potable water at 6,200 m³/day) from a surface water source. Intake probe to cost US$ 2 million The city of Santa Barbara may put up to US$ 2 million into a study of a desalination facility seawater intake structure after environmental groups said the existing plant's open water intake pipe could be harmful to marine life. The city council has authorized an initial US$ 344,000 contract with desalination company Carollo Engineers to determine whether a subsurface intake structure was feasible for the seawater-to-potable-water plant. The second phase is expected to cost about US$ 700,000 and the third phase, when Carollo is to study specific alternatives for a subsurface intake, is expected to cost US$ 1.1 million, according to the city. Regulatory agencies have made the feasibility study mandatory as part of the city's desalination-related permits. But California Coastal Commission members pointed out that a 1996 permit is still valid so the city can put the facility back into operation with the open water intake structure, even if the studies recommend a subsurface intake. Santa Barbara's desalination plant, when active, pumped seawater from an open intake structure, located 2,500 feet offshore, and the waste was mixed with the discharge from El Estero Wastewater Treatment Plant, located 8,720 feet offshore.
