Nanostone Water Desalination Technology

Nanostone CM-151

CM-151 Ceramic Ultrafiltration for Desalination

Solving the GCC’s Toughest Challenges

Nanostone’s innovative desalination technology is revolutionizing the way seawater desalination plants in the GCC handle the most challenging water conditions. With a unique, single-step solution, it guarantees a reliable and uninterrupted supply of pretreated water, even in the presence of harmful algal blooms, suspended solids, and dissolved organics. The technology eliminates the need for multiple pretreatment steps, lowering both capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operational costs (OPEX), while offering the most efficient, cost-effective solution for desalination plants.

Key Features:

  • Reliable Performance in Harsh Conditions: Nanostone’s solution ensures stable operation even under high solids loading and during algal blooms, providing consistently high-quality feed to seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) systems.
  • Low Cost of Ownership: Nanostone’s technology offers the lowest treatment costs available, reducing CAPEX, OPEX, complexity, and land requirements. It is designed to eliminate traditional multi-step pretreatment processes, cutting costs and reducing the plant’s footprint by up to 40%.
  • Proven Efficiency: The technology improves operational reliability, with desalination plants achieving up to 97-98% availability, even in the most challenging waters. Nanostone’s ceramic membranes are extremely robust and reliable, with no fibers to break, eliminating the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.

Why Choose Nanostone?

  • Cost-Effective and Fast ROI: Expect a full return on investment in just two years with Nanostone’s single-step solution.
  • Long-Term Durability: Nanostone’s ceramic membranes are built to last for 20 years without the need for replacement, even during algae blooms or other environmental challenges.
  • Simplified Process: Nanostone reduces operational complexity by eliminating unnecessary pretreatment steps like DAF and media filters. The technology can also be easily retrofitted into existing plants, minimizing construction time and plant downtime.

Nanostone is already working with leading developers, owners, and operators to integrate this game-changing solution into both new desalination projects and retrofits of existing plants. With this technology, desalination plants can run more efficiently, lower their operational costs, and extend the life of their systems.
