Refreshing as a cool glass of water.

We're taking a new approach to desalination.

​

Our groundbreaking desalination technology ensures fresh water in any geography, or on any adventure.

Past

Thermal desalination is the process of evaporating saltwater, then condensing the steam. The least efficient of desalination methods, distillation has been largely replaced by Reverse Osmosis.

Present

Invented in the 1960s, Reverse Osmosis works by pushing water through a membrane at 800PSI

Future

NONA separates salt & bacteria from water using electric current, so water never passes through a membrane. 

​

Our underlying technology is called Ion Concentration Polarization (ICP), a novel electro membrane fluid separation method developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. NONA is the first commercial application of this technological breakthrough.
