NanoClear - Efficient Treatment of Industrial Wastewater
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Technology
Dais Analytic Corporation announced it is accepting orders for delivery of its first NanoClear™ product targeted to be used in the estimated $65 billion industrial wastewater cleanup market.
NanoClear™ is a revolutionary water cleaning architecture enabled by the features in Dais's nanomaterial -Aqualyte™.
NanoClear's benefits include simpler plant engineering, lower initial and operating costs, safe separation of numerous contaminants from the dirty wastewater stream, and high quality product water (nearly 1000x clearer than today's drinking water standard).
Unlike most of today's water cleaning operations using the Reverse Osmosis ("RO") water cleaning method, NanoClear does not employ high pressure. This combined with another feature of the Aqualyte material offers the industry a true 'low fouling' membrane material. Fouling is a source of many RO system failures.
The NanoClear product shipped is the ME201 model, a modular device containing Aqualyte nanomaterial capable of separating approximately 26 gallons per hour of harmful contaminants found largely in industrial wastewater. T
he modules are available in sizes from 13 - 130 gallons per hour and can be grouped together as needed to clean millions of gallons of contaminated industrial wastewater per day. The clean wastewater can be reused by the industrial process lowering the processes' draw on the local water supply, lowering the environmental impact and potentially the demand on a local wastewater treatment plant.
The ME201 units were shipped to an engineering company in China for use in cleaning water so contaminated it stymies traditional industrial wastewater cleaning technology. The Company has received orders for NanoClear units, which it anticipates will generate revenue in the current fiscal quarter.
"In my 30 years in the water industry in China, I have seen many new technologies introduced with varying degrees of success in field application.
One thing was and remains constant with the many technologies I see on a regular basis: the underlying architecture of the system where the new technology was applied remained largely the same," said Zhang Lei of Environmental Technology Engineering Co. Ltd. "At this time, there is no other material or product l know of in the industry that directly offers the benefits or demonstrated efficiency of the Aqualyte material in the NanoClear product."
In 2013 in cooperation with Pasco County, FL, Dais built -- and continues to operate -- a NanoClear™ water cleaning pilot system using an existing county water treatment facility. A similar unit is functional in Beijing, China. These units highlight the functionality of Dais' Aqualyte nanomaterial and NanoClear process to potential partners, key influencers and consumers.
"NanoClear™ works in a fundamentally different way than the dominant treatment systems in use today which ultimately means less pre-treatment and only a single pass through our membrane" explains Dr. Rasool Nasr Isfahani, Senior Aqualyte™ Development Engineer at Dais.
"By developing a membrane that works without pores we eliminate the need for high pressure pumps, back flushing cycles and other process components that make cleaning water expensive and difficult. This is truly something that we all feel will change the water purification landscape."
