Water Options for Hawaii Island

Desalination:

At Hawaii electrical utility rates - 30c/kWh (and tracks with the cost of oil)

Energy cost

• RO $1.11/m3 @ (3.7kWhe )

• MED $1.10/m3 @ (65kWht* and 1.5kWhe)

• FO $0.60/m3 @ (30kWht* and 1.0kWhe)

• Both MED and FO need a source of low temperature heat in addition to

the electrical energy.
