Critical Clean Water Technologies for Earth System Biogeochemical Research

这里要求的超纯水净化技术是在广泛的地球科学领域进行现代生物地球化学研究的重要基础。这些清洁水技术将专门支持位于不列颠哥伦比亚大学地球科学大楼(ES)的十个研究小组。这些小组对清洁水有严格的要求，并在各种领域开展研究，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。考虑到用户数量和需求的多样性，我们需要两个高性能、大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大楼纯净水的唯一来源，因此对这十个研究小组的研究活动至关重要，在过去六年中，这十个研究小组总共支持了193个HQP。此外，这些必要的超纯水净化技术将支持系级教学实验室和野外学校的海洋学、水文地质学和地下水水文学。

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.
