Preliminary Assessment of the Salt Tolerant Energent Plant (STEP) Process for the Beneficial Use and Disposal of Saline Water.

摘要

This report presents a preliminary assessment of the Salt Tolerant Emergent Plant (STEP) process for the beneficial use and disposal of Glenwood Springs' saline water. Biological, natural resource, and economic aspects of the process are addressed by International Bio-Resources, Inc (IBR). Engineering aspects, including preliminary conceptual engineering design and the initial costing of the process and its components, are addressed by the Denver Engineering Corporation (DEC). The purpose of this study was to review the concept for technical and economic flaws that could prevent it from successful development. It is intended as an initial overview, based on a first-round literature search and solicited professional opinions.
