Current desalination techniques are extremely energy intensive and present significant economic, social, environmental, and technological obstacles. Ceramipore technology uses new silica-based inorganic membranes in a lower-energy method of desalinating sea water. Ceramipore uses low pressures, can be powered by solar or waste energy and could save overall capital, operational and energy costs by 40%. Ceramipore is ready for prototype trials in an industrial setting.
