Research and Development

Doosan Hydro Technology is a world leader in providing water and wastewater treatment solutions for both the public and private sectors. Our research and development division is hard at work solving challenges that our customers face today and identifying solutions for the challenges of tomorrow. From pilot studies and biofouling reduction research, to membrane performance testing and system issues, we’re finding ways to ensure that our clients consistently produce the water they need, in the quantity they want and the quality they demand. Every day, Doosan Hydro Technology is working on water solutions.

“Doosan Hydro Technology's Research & Development will provide efficient solutions for today's challenges and develop creative innovations for tomorrow's market. Our prime mission is to ensure Doosan's technological competitiveness in water/wastewater field.” —Dr. Young Chul Choi, Director of Doosan's US based R&D Center

Doosan operates three R&D Centers around the world located in the USA, Korea and the United Arab Emirates, employing over 200 researchers and scientists dedicated to improving our thermal and membrane process products for our clients.

Through the operation of pilot systems and bench scale tests, Doosan has begun to develop and improve upon various desalination and water treatment technologies as well as evaluate new products that enter the market. Our pilot studies include:

• Conventional dual media filtration test program
• Improvements in distillation and evaporative processes
• Alternative conventional technology (DSF, DAF, etc.)
• Wastewater treatment utilizing membranes
• Reverse osmosis membrane performance evaluation program
• Bio-fouling and mineral scale reduction
• Boron/bromide control

Our plans include development and installation of next-generation desalination plants that feature improved economic efficiency and prolonged membrane life. Our excellence in large-scale desalination and next-generation technology, will allow Doosan to continue their leadership and promote desalination and membrane technologies around the world.
