Oasys Water, Inc. (OWI) would demonstrate the economic viability of an Osmotic Heat Engine (OHE) for electricity production from extremely low-grade geothermal resources. Design work on this project would be completed at Oasys Water in Menlo Park, California. Laboratory work would take place at SRI International, 333 Ravenswood Ave., Menlo Park, CA 94025. Field work would take place at an existing AltaRock geothermal site.
