Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies, a subsidiary of Veolia Water, and world leader in water treatment, and NanoH2O, a global provider of membranes that leverage nanotechnology to improve desalination, have partnered to jointly explore key geographic areas for new and existing seawater desalination plants. Under a five-year agreement, the companies will initiate pilot installations across the Middle East, Mediterranean, Australia, and other regions beginning in 2010.
The projected desalination plants will range from small plants (1,000-2,000 cubic meters/day or approximately 250-500 thousand gallons/day) to large plants (over 100,000 cubic meters/day or over 25 million gallons/day) and will combine Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies' municipal and industrial water treatment expertise with NanoH2O's novel nanocomposite reverse osmosis membranes.
