NanoClear (Dais Analytic)

Technology Idol

What is it?

NanoClear is a new method of desalination that combines both membrane and vapour compression technology to draw fresh water from seawater.

Who is responsible?

Dais Analytic's "new generation of desalination technology" concentrates on desalination by molecular diffusion. This low-cost, pressure desalination process uses commercialized nanotechnology, and employs a solid polymer membrane to reject dissolved solids by size, polarity and diffusion concentration, leaving fewer than 100 PPM TDS.

The Dais "MD" membrane does not foul or need regeneration, nor does it scale or support marine growth, making it a viable option where environmental concerns are uppermost. It can be used in applications with capacities of up to 10,000m³/d.
