- Published basis
- 500 m³/day
- Program
- U.S. DOE / NELHA
- Application
- Seawater desalination
Pilot and demonstration projects across seawater desalination, produced-water treatment, and brine concentration. Each carries its own site and scope.
Six projects, each with its own site, scope, and published evidence.

An integrated seawater forward-osmosis demonstration coupled to concentrating solar-thermal heat.

A 50 m³/day FO pilot evaluated within Masdar's renewable desalination program.

A published 2,000 bbl/day thermal FO/PFO project basis for oil-and-gas produced water.

A Trevi-owned FO unit integrated with the Cyprus Institute's solar-thermal research facility.

A mobile treatment platform intended to test varied nontraditional water sources across California sites.

A 10 m³/day pilot tested with beach-well seawater at Kuwait's Desalination Research Plant.
Capacity describes each project's published basis.
