About NanoH2O
Founded in 2005 by proven entrepreneurs, engineers and scientists, and backed by leading venture investors, NanoH2O (www.nanoh2o.com) leverages the benefits of nanotechnology to create advanced membranes for desalination and water reuse. With freshwater scarcity an increasing worldwide issue, desalination of fresh, brackish and seawater sources is vital for a growing population. Despite recent advances, desalination is energy intensive and remains an expensive source of freshwater. NanoH2O’s next generation energy-efficient membranes dramatically improve the baseline economics of desalination and water reuse allowing broader industrial and municipal use.
