The system employs both membrane and thermal methodologies in the desalination process to produce a more cost effective and environmentally friendly system. Aqualife Global will develop and commercialize the technology.

There are numerous new technologies for desalination in the pipe stream: solar domes in the desert, nanofiber technology membranes and other nanomaterials, which can desalinise sea water in minutes…

The Global Aqua Innovation Center at Shinshu University have developed a robust carbon nanotube membrane that is combined with a reverse osmosis membrane for desalination of seawater. The cost effective new membrane lets more water through more quickly and reduces clogging. The demonstration test began in 2019 at a water treatment facility in Kitakyushu using the new membrane to treat 5.5 tons of seawater daily.
