I'm thrilled to continue serving research director for NAWI 2.0. Together with @NAWIHub's 500+ organizational partners, our objective remains to drive down the cost and emissions of our water supply for a resilient water future. buff.ly/3yPDap7

Citric acid can be used as a water softener, a membrane cleaning agent - and a base for creative lemonade mixology. Happy summer from WE3 lab - squeeze the day! 🍋

Carson Tucker, with Tim Bartholomew and Alex Dudchenko, isolated cost drivers of mechanical vapor compression for concentrating RO brines. They find opportunities to reduce costs with heat transfer and material innovation. Read the paper in Water Research: buff.ly/3WekU1K

Lab members Carson, Inheyong, Charan and Akshay have been attending and presenting at the IDAES Advanced Process Systems Engineering Stakeholder Summit this week. Akshay Rao did a great job presenting his framework for valuing water system energy flexibility! #PSE #WaterTAP

We're excited to welcome Inhyeong Jeon as a postdoc in the lab! Inhyeong earned his Ph.D. from Yale Engineering studying decentralized, solar-driven water treatment, and will continue to work on the decarbonization and decentralization of our water supply.

Welcome to Gina Kittleson! Gina is joining the WE3 Lab and Sarah Fletcher lab for her Ph.D. to extend our work on desalination plant permitting and optimization under deep uncertainty to new locations in California. 🌎 You might also find Gina baking, hiking, or volunteering.

Can water systems enhance grid stability? A study led by Stanford Woods Institute WE3Lab Members & Meagan Mauter found that water systems like desalination can shift up to 30% of their energy use during peak demand times, lowering costs and boosting grid resilience. Read more: stanford.io/4eIzOUv

Spotlight on WE3Lab Members & Meagan Mauter 🌟 In Valuing Energy Flexibility from Water Systems, Stanford University researchers Rao (Akshay Rao) and WE3Lab Members & Meagan Mauter coauthors study efficient operation of water systems in a decarbonizing grid Their accompanying marimo notebook brings their research to life💧⚡

Our latest paper formulates a computationally efficient and modular approach to reduce #desalination 🌊 energy costs by using time-based production scheduling. 🕙 Congratulations to Akshay (Akshay Rao), Adam Atia (NETL) and Bernard Knueven (NREL)! buff.ly/402XTB5

Corisa Wong did a great job with her presentation "Targeted Agricultural Water Savings in California using Crop Water Productivity" at AGU (American Geophysical Union) conference last month! If you attended #AGU2024 you can still find the session recording on the platform 🌳🍇🍊buff.ly/3PKMz6h
