Tackling Challenging Water,
Maximizing Limited Space
Global Water Technology
& Solutions Company
Welcome to Nanostone
Where the future of water safety and sustainability is now. We are at the forefront of tackling the impending global water crisis—an urgency once seen as a distant challenge, now unfolding before our eyes.
Water, the lifeblood of our cities and industries, faces increasing threats from pollution and scarcity. The rapid pace of urbanization and industrial growth has intensified the demands on our water reserves, with rivers, lakes, and aquifers suffering from significant pollution and depletion.
Climate change intensifies these challenges, causing more frequent and severe storms that lead to runoff contamination. Warmer temperatures promote the growth of harmful algal blooms and microorganisms, posing serious challenges to our existing water treatment plants.
In response to these growing pressures, additional space-intensive water treatment steps are required. Yet, in dense urban and industrial settings, the available physical space is limited. Existing treatment facilities are stretched to their limits, choked by the very progress they were designed to support.
Nanostone’s robust and resilient ceramic membrane technology
and solutions confront the mounting problems of
‘Challenging Water’ and ‘Limited Space’ head on.

Discover Our Sweet Spot Applications
——
Municipal Drinking Water
Drinking water, a vital resource flowing quietly beneath our cities and into our homes and factories. Behind the scenes, sophisticated water treatment systems work tirelessly to ensure the safety and reliability of this water. They face growing challenges: increasing demand, deteriorating source water quality, limited space for expanding facilities, and rising regulatory requirements.
Sea Water Desalination
Expanding the water frontier. Discover how our innovative technology converts seawater into fresh, drinking water, thus broadening our water sources beyond the limits of our rivers and lakes. As freshwater reserves become increasingly strained, desalination serves as a vital solution, promising secure, reliable water supplies for communities worldwide.
Municipal Wastewater Reuse
Today’s new water for a sustainable tomorrow. Reuse of treated municipal sewage effluent is becoming increasingly common, especially for industrial applications. While very few municipalities around the world have wastewater reuse schemes for potable water due to the significant “yuck” factor associated with treating wastewater for drinking purposes, there is growing traction for using municipal wastewater for non-potable applications.
Boiler Feed Water for Power Generation
Surface water sources like rivers and lakes are commonly used in power plants, but their variability in turbidity, organics, among others, demands extensive pre-treatment to protect RO membranes. Nanostone’s advanced ceramic UF membranes combine multiple pre-treatment steps into a single operation, offering unmatched durability and fouling resistance. This ensures high-purity water for boiler systems, preventing scaling, corrosion, and fouling, and maintaining efficient, low-maintenance operation.
Cooling Tower Blowdown
As cooling tower water cycles and evaporates, total dissolved solids (TDS) and hardness concentrate, requiring the periodic ‘blowdown’ of water and its replacement with freshwater. This cooling tower blowdown (CTBD) wastewater carries high salt concentrations and chemical additives used in the cooling process. Nanostone’s ceramic membrane technology provides a reliable, single-step solution, enhancing water reuse and improving system efficiency. It shields reverse osmosis (RO) systems by reducing fouling and extending membrane lifespan.
Mining Wastewater
In mining, essential resource extraction often clashes with environmental concerns, particularly in wastewater management. Mining wastewater accumulates heavy metals, suspended solids, and chemical residues, rendering it unfit for reuse or discharge without treatment. Nanostone’s ceramic membrane technology offers a sustainable path in responsible water stewardship.
Microelectronics / Semiconductor
Managing wastewater in microelectronics manufacturing is a critical challenge due to the sheer volume and the high purity levels of water required. Nanostone’sceramic membrane technology effectively addresses these challenges by enabling high-quality effluent suitable for reuse, simplifying the treatment process, and fitting seamlessly into space-constrained facilities. Our technology promotes responsible water use and supports the industry’s sustainability stewardship, driving growth and innovation.
