New, production-optimized system demonstrates high performance under
demanding field conditions in Somerton, Arizona.
Sandnes, Norway, July 13, 2026 – Desert Control (OSE: DSRT), a leading company in the field of soil and
water conservation technology, announces that its next-generation production facility
has successfully completed the application of liquid natural clay (LNC) to 12 hectares
of Medjool date palms in Somerton, Arizona. The project marks the first large-scale
field deployment of the new system and is a significant milestone in
Desert Control’s transition from prototype development to mass production.
The next-generation production system is based on a new, production-optimized
system configuration designed for manufacturability, improved efficiency,
modularity, and a small footprint. The system was developed for high production capacity and
use under demanding operating conditions and
significantly increases the efficiency of the LNC application compared to previous models. It serves
as Desert Control’s base configuration for future systems and enables the
company to adapt its production fleet to the growing demand from customers and
licensees.
In Somerton, the unit met specifications under hot, dry, and sandy field conditions
. The deployment provides an early, real-world
demonstration of the system’s performance and reliability on a commercial scale—a
crucial step for Desert Control in expanding its delivery capacity in the American
Southwest.
LNC, a proprietary soil-improvement technology, helps sandy, rapidly draining soils
retain water and nutrients more effectively. This reduces irrigation needs and
promotes healthier plant growth. In date cultivation, where trees grow under arid
conditions on sandy desert soils, improved water retention in the root zone
can directly support tree health and long-term productivity while reducing water consumption. Somerton therefore offers ideal conditions for demonstrating the performance
of the new device. “The field deployment of our next-generation production system and its performance at a commercial scale are two of the most important milestones on our path to scaling Desert Control,” said James Thomas, CEO of Desert Control. “I remain encouraged by the scope and quality of our pilot projects and believe that the validation of this production unit comes at the right time as we look forward to what we hope will be a busy season of commercial applications.” Additional next-generation units are planned to meet broader commercial demand.
Introduction of LNC technology. The successful implementation marks an important step
in Desert Control’s commercialization strategy and demonstrates the operational
readiness and scalability required to meet growing customer demand.
