Technology is our differentiator
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
Ion Concentration Polarization
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.
