The Californian firm develops reverse osmosis membranes for use in water treatment applications, and claims its technology can increase water production by up to 70% in new desalination plants and 20% in existing facilities. NanoH2O also says its membranes need less pressure to produce the same amount of water, which slashes energy usage at plants by up to 20%. In 2008, NanoH2O raised USD15m in equity funding from investors including Khosla Ventures and Oak Investment Partners.
