Grand Turk #Water Supply—Seawater Reverse Osmosis Capacity Increase by February 2013

9/1/2013

The Turks and Caicos Islands Government has contracted with a joint venture of Matrix Enviro, Ltd. and Aqua-Chem, Inc. to build a new 300,000 US gallons per day reverse osmosis plant on Grand Turk. More information is available at:
  • Aqua-Chem, Inc. Awarded 4th Contract...
  • New Grand Turk water plant doubles water capacity
Will this development affect the viability of the Grand Turk Water-Producer-Greenhouse™ Project? Probably not, for the following reasons:

  • Although reverse-osmosis (RO) product water is potable, our CIDA project studies found it was not favoured by consumers—bottled water imported from Florida or locally produced was in high demand;
  • Water produced by our project would have minor or no salt content because it would be produced by condensing water vapour from the air;
  • Our product water could be used directly by beverage and food manufacturers without undergoing further treatment. We discovered a local water bottler had to run the RO water through additional RO cycles to produce an acceptable product; and
  • Our project uniquely integrates 50,000 US gallons per day water production and hydroponic horticulture for producing commercial quantities of fresh vegetables and fruits
