Hyrec launches pilot plant
Hyrec, creator of the osmotically assisted reverse osmosis (OARO) technology, deployed a test plant. OARO is designed to achieve a final brine concentration of up to 250,000 ppm TDS NaCl while operating at less than 70 bars. Feed capacity of the plant is 7.35 m3/h. Industrial scale testing and projects are expected to take place in conjunction with commercial partners from the U.S., Indonesia, Kuwait, Japan, India and Germany in mid-2019. This will act as a final step before the full commercial launch of OARO the following year.
