Carbon Nanotube Membrane Elements for Energy Efficient and Low Cost Reverse Osmosis

NanOasis Technologies, Inc. (Richmond, CA) will utilize carbon nanotubes to make industrially scalable high efficiency reverse osmosis membranes with 10 times the flux of existing membranes. If this project is successful, this disruptive technology will enable energy efficient and cost-effective harvesting of fresh water from the 97% of global water found in the oceans and provide a critical source of fresh water for U.S. energy and food crops, power plants, industrial plants, and water-stressed communities.
