ABSTRACT:
This report describes the conceptual design of a demonstration project in which solar energy is used to detoxify contaminated water. Parabolic trough collectors are used to concentrate direct ultraviolet insolation on a glass receiver tube containing a fixed catalyst. The study assesses

the cost and schedule of the demonstration program and includes a plan for obtaining the necessary permits. The results of this study should be useful in determining the economic potential of future commercial facilities treating groundwater to bring it to the standards of drinking water. The site selected for the study is in Colorado where on a clear day at noon, the facility treats groundwater at a flow rate of 0.0063 m3/sec (100 gpm). A complete design of the facility was developed, including the pre- and post-treatment necessary to maintain the required water chemistry. Show Less
