New, Energy-Efficient Water Desalination

SANTA ANA, CA -- QuantumSphere, Inc., a leading developer of advanced catalyst materials, high-performance electrode systems, and related process chemistries for portable power and clean-tech applications, today filed for a U.S. patent on a water purification process that serves as a more energy-efficient alternative to desalination methods now commonly used to help meet growing water needs around the world.

QuantumSphere intends to commercialize the forward osmosis technology to address the challenge of growing demand for potable water. According to Lux Research, the world’s water needs are expected to grow 40 percent by 2030, and today’s stressed water resources and systems are unsustainable. Water cultivation systems are expected to see market growth from $522 billion in 2007 to nearly $1 trillion in 2020.
