Ann: Fluence to Commission First MABR System in Mainland USA, page-8

A little unclear on what they have been doing for the last 8 months.....

Here is the announcement in Feb 1 2017

Melbourne, Australia and Caesarea, Israel: Emefcy Group Limited (ASX: EMC) (“Emefcy”) is pleased to announce the planned deployment of the first Emefcy MABR system in California.  This is the result of a memorandum of understanding with the Codiga Resource Recovery Center (CR2C) at Stanford University, to test and evaluate Emefcy’s MABR product. According to CR2C, it is a first-of-its-kind pilot-scale testing and teaching facility that uses a novel core infrastructure and test beds for flexible analysis of mobile treatment systems fed multiple grades of water.
Although specific terms of the testing program remain to be developed, Emefcy’s MABR system is anticipated to operate onsite at CR2C for an initial three-month period during which CR2C will conduct independent evaluations of MABR’s energy efficiency and treated-water quality, including industry-standard metrics. CR2C will publish its findings in venues available to the public and prospective users of the technology.
