Next Generation                Water Purification Technology “NanoH2O is at the forefront of the nexus between nanotechnology and water purification,” Samir Kaul, Khosla Ventures NanoH2O leverages the benefits of nanotechnology to create advanced membrane materials for the desalination and water reuse industries. With freshwater scarcity an increasingly worldwide issue, desalination is a vital treatment method to provide freshwater for industrial users and a growing world population from fresh, brackish and seawater sources. Despite recent advances, desalination remains an expensive source of freshwater because it is energy intensive. NanoH2O’s next generation energy-efficient and fouling resistant membranes dramatically improve the baseline economics of desalination and water reuse. Award of Distinction -- Global Water Intelligence Innovation of the Year 2007 NanoH2O is pleased annouce that it has secured $5 million in funding from Khosla Ventures.   A press release in the Newsroom provides additional information.
