Critical Clean Water Technologies for Earth System Biogeochemical Research

这里要求的超纯水净化技术是现代地球化学研究的重要基础，涉及广泛的地球科学领域。这些清洁水技术将专门支持设在UBC地球科学（ES）大楼的十个研究小组。这些团体对清洁水有着至关重要的需求，并在各种领域进行研究，包括化学，生物和物理海洋学，水文学，古气候，海洋地球化学，地下水污染，病毒学和药物发现。考虑到用户数量众多且需求多样，我们需要两个高性能、高流量的系统来支持所有群体的需求。新的超纯水净化技术将取代现有的两个已有20年历史的系统，这两个系统是ES大楼中唯一的纯化水来源，因此对这十个研究小组的研究活动至关重要，他们在过去六年中共同支持了超过193个HQP。此外，这些基本的超纯水净化技术将支持海洋学，水文地质学和地下水水文学的部门教学实验室和实地学校。

The ultrapure water purification technologies requested here are an essential foundation to modern biogeochemical research across a wide range of Earth Science fields. These clean water technologies will specifically support ten research groups hosted in the UBC Earth Sciences (ES) building. These groups have a critical requirement for clean water and conduct research across a variety of fields including chemical, biological and physical oceanography, hydrology, paleoclimate, marine geochemistry, groundwater contamination, virology, and drug discovery. Given the large number of users and variety of needs, we require two high performance, high flow systems to support the needs of all groups. The new ultrapure water purification technologies will replace two existing, 20-year old systems that are the sole source of purified water in the ES building, and are thus critical to the research activities of these ten research groups, whom together have supported over 193 HQP during the past six years. In addition, these essential ultrapure water purification technologies will support the departmental teaching laboratories and field schools in oceanography, hydrogeology, and groundwater hydrology.
