Why San Diego?
San Diego is considered a world-class destination offering spectacular beaches,
restaurants, hotels, attractions and easy access to transportation. Considered to
be the epicenter of desalination and water reuse development in the USA, the
area hosts many of the industry’s leading membrane manufacturers, universities,
research and development, centers, project developers and industry leaders. San Diego is also the undisputed birthplace of commercial reverse osmosis and
the city is considered the Silicon Valley of membrane technology. It is the site of
many technology advancements, membrane technology pioneers and today is still
considered a site of innovation.
The IDA World Congress 2015 theme relates so well to California’s record breaking
drought resulting in an extraordinary interest in reuse and desalination.
Home of the soon-to-be commissioned Carlsbad plant, the largest in North America,
and Orange County Groundwater Replenishment System, the world’s largest water
purification system for potable reuse, IDA delegates will have the opportunity to
tour both facilities.
Share in the excitement of our return to North America and the city of San Diego
after 16 years. Be a part of the vital discussions taking place surrounding the growing
demand for a sustainable source of fresh water in response to population growth,
economic expansion, degradation of existing resources, and the effects of climate
change! For more information about San Diego, please visit
www.meetmeinsandiego.com/IDA
San Diego Fun Facts
• San Diego has over 7,000 farms, the most in one city in the United States.
• Over 200 cruise ships berth in the San Diego harbor every year.
• Water is a hot commodity in San Diego. The city imports an estimated 80 to
90 percent of its water, totaling 168 million gallons a day.
• If the imported water of San Diego was placed into gallon bottles, they
would circle the earth more than one and a quarter times.
• Charles Lindbergh made history when he flew from San Diego to New York
and then non-stop to Paris on the Spirit of St. Louis in 1927.
• The Hotel Del Coronado is the country’s largest wooden structure. It featured
the first electric-lit outdoor Christmas tree in 1904.
• San Diego was known as the Tuna Capital of the World from the early 1930s
through the late 1970s.
• San Diego County is home to the most missions in the country. You can view
Mission San Diego de Alcala, Mission San Luis Rey, Mission San Antonio de
Pala and Mission Santa Ysabel by taking the California Missions Trail.

An Invitation from the President
It is my great pleasure to invite you to attend the 2015 IDA World Congress on
Desalination and Water Reuse in San Diego, California. The IDA World Congress is
recognized as the leading global event connecting members of the desalination and
water reuse community with fresh ideas, new insights and of course, the camaraderie
of colleagues from around the world.
The theme for this highly anticipated event – Renewable Water Resources to Meet
Global Needs – is even more timely and relevant than we could have imagined when
we began to formulate plans for the Congress a couple of years ago.
California, the site of this World Congress, is experiencing a record drought that has
seen water resources shrink to unprecedented levels. Some communities have simply
run out of water, and the Governor of California has called for mandatory conservation
measures. On a more positive note, the Carlsbad desalination plant – which will host
tours for World Congress delegates – will soon be commissioned, offering some
relief for the San Diego area. In addition, the Orange County Water District will also
welcome delegates to visit its Groundwater Replenishment System, the world’s largest
water purification system for potable reuse.
Of course, water scarcity is a global issue, due to the combined effects of climate
change, water demands needed to support growing populations and economies, and
the degradation of traditional water sources. Our industry is on the side of solutions,
as desalination has the unique ability to provide the only new source of fresh water on
our planet, and water reuse extends the lifecycle of our world’s most precious resource
while also offering many economic and environmental benefits. These topics will be
explored throughout our robust, four-day Technical Program.
A second major topic for this World Congress is the greatly accelerated drive to
sustainability. No longer is sustainability a distant goal. It is quickly becoming a reality,
and much of this movement is a result of technology advancements since our last
World Congress. These include advancements in membrane filtration design and
use of nanotechnology, water recovery and the move toward zero desalination
discharge; automation, smart systems in operations, transmission and supply chain;
bio-filtration and electrocoagulation in treatment; materials design such as graphene
in manufacturing of parts and components.
One of the most exciting developments in sustainability is the introduction of
renewable energy in large-scale water processing. Renewable energy in large-scale
desalination and reuse is a game-changer, and we are currently building a desalination
plant powered by solar that will produce 60K m3 per day in Saudi Arabia.
For all these reasons, we believe that the 2015 IDA World
Congress will be one of the most exciting ever. I hope that you
will take advantage of this great opportunity by participating
in this highly anticipated event. With its rich technical program,
industry-leading Exhibition, and unparalleled networking
opportunities, the IDA World Congress is the ideal place to
make new connections in this exciting new world.
Dr. Abdullah Al-Alshaikh

Stop 2 - Carlsbad Desalination Project
Departure: 8:30am
Duration: All day – Lunch included
Tour 3: Carlsbad Desalination Project Only
Departure: 10:00am
Duration: 3 hours approx.depending on traffic
The Carlsbad Project
The largest seawater desalination project
in the Western Hemisphere, the Carlsbad
Desalination Project, is more than 80
percent complete and on schedule for
delivering drought-proof water supplies
to the San Diego County Water Authority
by fall 2015.
The project will deliver up to 50 million
gallons a day of drought-proof, highly
reliable water that will become a core,
day-to-day resource for the region. It is
projected to meet 7 percent of San Diego
County’s demand in 2020. In addition,
the reverse-osmosis plant will make the
region’s water supplies more reliable by reducing dependence on imported water
from the Los Angeles-based Metropolitan Water District of Southern California that is
vulnerable to droughts, natural disasters and regulatory restrictions.
The Carlsbad Desalination Project is an important element of the Water Authority’s
long-term strategy to improve the San Diego region’s water supply reliability. It
includes securing independent water transfers from the Colorado River, increasing
regional water-use efficiency and developing local sources such as groundwater,
surface water and recycled water. Completion of the Carlsbad project will put the
Water Authority on pace for meeting its diversification goals for 2020.
IDAWC15 ADVANCE PROGRAM

The Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS)
The world’s largest water purification system for potable reuse takes highly treated
wastewater that would have previously been discharged into the Pacific Ocean and
purifies it using a three-step advanced treatment process consisting of microfiltration,
reverse osmosis and ultraviolet light with hydrogen peroxide. The process produces
high-quality water that meets or exceeds all state and federal drinking water standards.
Operational since January 2008, this state-of-the-art water purification project can
produce up to 70 million gallons (265,000 cubic meters) of high-quality water every
day. This is enough water to meet the needs of nearly 600,000 residents in north and
central Orange County, California.
The design and construction of the GWRS was a project jointly-funded by the Orange
County Water District and the Orange County Sanitation District. These two public
agencies have worked together for more than 30 years. They are leading the way in
water recycling and providing a locally-controlled, drought-proof and reliable supply
of high-quality water in an environmentally sensitive and economical manner.
After wastewater is treated at the Orange County Sanitation District, it flows to
the GWRS where it undergoes a state-of-the-art purification process consisting of
microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and ultraviolet light with hydrogen peroxide. The
product water is near-distilled-quality. Approximately 35 million gallons (132,500
cubic meters) per day of the GWRS water are pumped into injection wells to create
a seawater intrusion barrier. Another 35 million gallons (132,500 cubic meters) are
pumped daily to Orange County Water District›s percolation basins in Anaheim where
the GWRS water naturally filters through sand districts and gravel to the deep aquifers
of the groundwater basin.
The GWRS is currently undergoing a 30-MGD expansion that will be completed in
June 2015. It will take the total water production to 100 MGD, or enough water for
850,000 people. Since its inception, it has produced more than 150 billion gallons
of water that has helped replenish and protect Orange County’s groundwater basin.
This internationally renowned facility has garnered nearly 40 awards including the
prestigious 2008 Stockholm Industry Water Award for the year’s most outstanding
international water project and serves as a global model for water reuse projects.

40
IDAWC15 ADVANCE PROGRAM
reliable, sustainable, and resilient water supplies. Because of water purification
energy needs and the need for increased resiliency from energy price uncertainty,
the use of renewable energy sources is becoming more common in large-scale
facility design. Innovation in the application of renewable energy sources is coming
from much smaller scale remote facilities. This panel will focus on the successful
application of large-scale renewable energy resources and the latest advancements
in small-scale technologies to help define the role of renewable energy in the future.
Moderator: Mr. Paddy Padmanathan, President & CEO, ACWA Power International
A Discussion of Innovative Water Reuse Projects Around the World
Tuesday, September 1, 2015 9:00am-10:30am
Ensuring a sustainable supply of water is integral to a robust economy and high quality
of life. While conservation is an important tool, states must also incorporate water reuse
in their water portfolio to meet the needs of thirsty communities and protect against
environmental degradation. Join us for an intriguing discussion about the current
status and path forward regarding for reuse projects and policies that have resulted
in successful and innovative water reuse projects in the US and around the world.
Moderator: Ms. Melissa Meeker, Executive Director, WateReuse Association and
WateReuse Research Foundation
Public Private Partnerships: Successful Desal’s Common Denominator
Tuesday, September 1, 2015 9:00am-10:30am
Governments around the world are looking to reduce direct expenditures and are
turning to Public-Private Partnerships to deliver services. This panel will consider how
relevant the P3 model is in delivering desalinated water at an affordable cost to a
thirsty world. The panel will seek to establish the common denominator in successful
P3 Desal projects and compare this model of service delivery to the alternative of
Governments developing, owning and operating plants. In assessing the P3 model,
the impact of suitable risk allocation, pace of introduction of new technology, the
changing financial services sector which need to be relied on to provide much of the
long tenure funding for these capital intensive projects will all be taken into account.”

Seawater intakes for desalination must ensure access to a reliable feed water source
while minimizing environmental impacts. As such, selecting the optimal intake
approach for a given facility is a very site-specific endeavor; what works for one site
is not necessarily transferrable to another. The balance between what is technically
feasible, biologically effective, and economically viable is delicate. This panel
session will bring together experts on surface and subsurface intakes to discuss the
realities of identifying and implementing the best intakes for seawater desalination.
Moderator: Mr. Tim Hogan, Senior Fisheries Biologist, Alden Research Laboratory

Potable Water Reuse and Public Outreach
Indirect and Direct Potable Reuse (IPR and DPR) are a reality in California,
the US and around the world. As water suppliers grapple with shortages in
resources, the next resource being considered is the use of recycled water as
a water source that is drought proof and safe for potable uses. The session
will discuss reuse water quality and compare requirements for both IPR and
DPR. The discussion will include methodologies to ensure safety such as
the concept of Critical Control Points. It will cover technologies including
Ozone, UV, MF, UF and RO and membrane research for Reuse applications
and for upstream wastewater treatment plants. It will also present case
studies of how to select IPR or DPR as an option and outreach strategies to
gain support for Reuse projects.

Thermal Desalination and Power Hybrids
Thermal desalination has a long history and is considered the biggest
contributor of desalinated water in the world. The low energy efficiencies of
thermal desalination processes have been overcome recently by integrated
power plant and distillation process, so called thermal desalination and
power hybrids. Energy cost comparisons between thermal and membrane
processes for cogeneration is an important factor in the integration of
thermal processes.

Thermal Desalination: Membrane Distillation
Membrane distillation is a thermally driven process that utilizes a
hydrophobic, microporous membrane as a contactor to achieve separation
by liquid–vapor equilibrium. The different possible module/membrane
configurations and the advantageous operating conditions compared to
conventional processes make it a very attractive technology, especially in
niche applications. In this Session, the challenges facing scaling-up the
innovative membrane distillation process for different applications are
presented and discussed.
