High Recovery Desalination for Expeditionary Water Production is sponsored by U.S. Army (SBIR/STTR Program). The Army seeks advanced water treatment solutions to bolster sustained operations in remote, austere environments. Novel desalination technologies must enable efficient, high-recovery water treatment to enhance unit self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on external water resupply.
Current reverse osmosis systems face challenges at high recovery rates, including membrane fouling, increased energy consumption, and declining performance over time.
