Municipal Water Treatment Solution - Nanostone Water
Penny-Wise, Eco-Wise, and Pound-Efficient
That’s How We Roll At Nanostone in Municipal Water Treatment
The Growing Water Challenge in Municipalities
At Nanostone, we understand that municipal water treatment is fundamentally about managing resources, safeguarding public health, ensuring accountability over public budgets, and protecting the environment. And we know that it isn’t getting any easier. On the contrary!
The task of ensuring a continuous supply of safe drinking water is becoming increasingly complex for municipalities worldwide. As demand surges and water source quality deteriorates, the challenges intensify. Muddy waters, supercharged by stronger and more frequent storms, now frequently overwhelm our rivers and lakes with runoff and debris. At the same time, rising global temperatures transform these waters into breeding grounds for algal blooms and other harmful microorganisms, compromising water clarity and safety.
These evolving conditions pose persistent stress on our traditional water treatment plants, often packed inside constrained spaces due to urban sprawl, leaving little room to add necessary treatment steps to counter these water challenges effectively.
Nanostone’s compact single-step process tackles your challenging water while eliminating the need for additional, cost- & space-intensive treatment steps.

Common Questions
About Municipal Water Treatment
What solutions does Nanostone provide for municipal water treatment?
What solutions does Nanostone provide for municipal water treatment?
Nanostone offers compact, single-step water treatment solutions for municipalities, addressing challenges like turbidity, microorganisms, heavy metals and harmful algal blooms, while reducing the need for space- and cost-intensive steps. Our modular customization ensures systems meet regulatory standards, reduce costs, and protect ecosystems. Engineered in Germany and supported by a global network, we deliver sustainable solutions tailored to each community's needs.
Can Nanostone systems handle high-turbidity water?
Can Nanostone systems handle high-turbidity water?
Yes, Nanostone systems are specifically designed to handle high-turbidity water effectively. Our ceramic membranes excel in managing extreme conditions, such as spikes caused by stormwater surges or algal blooms. These events, which can overwhelm traditional systems, are efficiently managed with Nanostone’s robust technology, ensuring consistent water quality even during significant fluctuations.
How does ceramic ultrafiltration compare to polymeric membranes?
How does ceramic ultrafiltration compare to polymeric membranes?
Ceramic ultrafiltration membranes offer superior durability, higher temperature resistance, and longer lifespan compared to polymeric membranes. They provide consistent performance in challenging environments, making them ideal for industrial applications.
Can Nanostone’s solutions be integrated into existing water treatment infrastructure?
Can Nanostone’s solutions be integrated into existing water treatment infrastructure?
Yes, Nanostone's ceramic membranes and systems fit seamlessly into your existing water plant layout and configuration, allowing for upgrades without the need for extensive modifications.
How does Nanostone’s technology contribute to sustainability and water conservation?
How does Nanostone’s technology contribute to sustainability and water conservation?
Nanostone's technology enhances water reuse, reduces waste, and lowers energy consumption, promoting sustainability. By enabling efficient treatment of various water sources, it conserves valuable freshwater resources. In addition, the robustness of the ceramic membranes allow customers to use Nanostone membranes much longer, quite often 2-3 times longer than polymeric membranes, greatly reducing the material, energy and transportation required for multiple replacements within the same water plant.
