Pilot plant 2026

In spring 2026, we will build our first permanent pilot plant in Mataró on the Costa Brava.
A shaded walkway with seating in partial shade will be created on an area of around 90 m². The plant will thus create direct and tangible added value for visitors to the harbour.

The facility will be used to irrigate the port infrastructure and will also serve as a central test object under real conditions.

This pilot facility forms the technical, operational and conceptual basis for all subsequent projects and represents a decisive milestone in further development.

 

Objectives:

  • Initial irrigation of plants
  • This facility will help to get to grips with the technical details.
  • Increased efficiency of freshwater production
  • Cooperation with the local population

Secondary goals

These goals are definitely planned. However, they will not be tackled until the test plant is up and running and producing fresh water.

  • Conversion of fresh water into drinking water
  • Testing of purely solar thermal desalination processes (without PV cells)
