Low Temperature Geothermal Resource Assessment for Membrane Distillation Desalination in the United States

Conference Akar, Sertac ; Turchi, Craig

Substantial drought and declines in potable groundwater in the United States over the last decade has increased the demand for fresh water. Desalination of saline water such as brackish surface or groundwater, seawater, brines co-produced from oil and gas operations, industrial wastewater, blow-down water from power plant cooling towers, and agriculture drainage water can reduce the volume of water that requires disposal while providing a source of high-quality fresh water for industrial or commercial use. Membrane distillation (MD) is a developing technology that uses low-temperature thermal energy for desalination. Geothermal heat can be an ideal thermal-energy source for MD desalinationmore »« less
Geothermal Play Fairway Analysis for Low-Temperature Resources in the Denver Basin

Dataset Davalos-Elizondo, Estefanny ; Taverna, Nicole ; Gold, Abra ; ...

This dataset is part of an effort to highlight the advantages of incorporating low-temperature (< 150 C) geothermal resource evaluation into the implementation of combined heat and power (CHP), and geothermal direct use (GDU) technologies (e.g., space heating and/or cooling). For this Denver Basin example, resource favorability maps were created to identify potentially favorable areas for further geothermal exploration and are provided here. Favorability was based on three types of data: (1) geologic, (2) economic, and (3) risk. This raw data is also provided below. Geologic data include bottom-hole temperatures (BHT) from oil and gas wells, water co-production volumes frommore »« less
Closed Loop Pumped Storage Hydropower Resource Assessment of the United States

Dataset Rosenlieb, Evan

The data includes a geospatial and spreadsheet representation of a resource analysis for closed loop pumped storage systems across the Continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. The data includes energy storage potential, water volume, distance from source to storage, hydraulic head, dollars per kilowatt of storage, and transmission spurline cost for each pumped storage hydropower (PHS) reservoir. Each reservoir represented in this dataset is represented on potential 10 hour storage duration PSH system comprised of two reservoirs. Units of measure are laid out in the dataset. Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) represents the bulk of the United States' currentmore »« less

Assessment of low-temperature geothermal resources in the United States

Journal Article Sorey, M L ; Mariner, R H ; Nathenson, M ; ... - IEEE Trans. Geosci. Remote Sens.; (United States)

A nationwide assessment of geothermal resources less than or equal to 90/sup 0/C has recently been completed by the U.S. Geological Survey. Estimates were obtained of accessible resource base, resource, and beneficial heat for 1145 identified low-temperature reservoirs occurring in hydrothermal convection systems and conduction-dominated systems. For identified systems, the nationwide total of thermal energy recoverable at the wellhead (resource) is estimated to be 82 X 10/sup 18/ J, from which a total beneficial heat of 39,000 MW /SUB t/ for 30 years could be obtained.
