  1. Global Water • Clean potable water is a critical requirement for all humanitarian assistance missions. • In 2010, The UN General Assembly declared that, “access to clean water and sanitation is a human right.” • Almost 900 million people worldwide lack access to clean water. • Insufficient access to safe drinking water kills and sickens thousands of people aday. • Natural disaster emergencies displace millions worldwide every year exacerbating the current conditions.

  2. Water Health Facts • Almost 4 million people die each year from water related diseases. • 80 % of all illnesses in the developing world come from water borne diseases. • About half the world’s hospital beds are occupied by someone with a water related illness. • 1/3of the world’s population live in water stressed areas. • In India over 1 lakh die of water borne disease annually. • Ground water in 1/3 of India’s 600 districts is not fit for drinking.

  3. Why Water Purification?Source Stresses Pollution Scarcity

  4. Existing Water Sources are Contaminated

  5. Why Point of Use?Central Treatment Challenge Developing Countries - Lack of Infrastructure Developed Countries - Aging Infrastructure & Intrusion Developing Countries - Lack of Infrastructure Developed Countries - Aging Infrastructure

  6. Current POU ApproachesAn Application Challenge Too Simple – Another form of Chemical Too Complex – Dumb Down Industrial

  7. Point of UseCurrent Approach Challenge • Domestic RO • More than 3 million units in use. • Increasing at a rate of 25% per year • Used in low TDS situations • Wastes water Too Simple – Ineffective Purification

  8. POU Needs a Breakthrough RO is Not Always the Answer • A great water treatment technology for Commercial and Industrial uses, to many pitfalls for low TDS POU • RO Requires Pressure - Much Energy is Required • Intermittent Use - RO Membrane Biofouls • Removal of Healthy Minerals - RO Removes All Salts • Waste Water - RO Recovery is not optimized

  9. POU Needs a Breakthrough RO is Not Always the Answer • India needs a breakthrough in filtration technology. • High population of more than 1.2 Billion. • Cannot afford to waste water.

  10. Bottled Water Still PrevailsSimple POU Device Expensive and Wasteful

  11. Bottled Water Comparison • Global sales of bottled water account for over $60-$80 billion each year. • India • More than 20 billionliters a year. • The estimated market value of India’s bottled water market is over 90 billion RS.

  12. Environmental Impact • 17 million barrels of oil used to produce water bottles each year in the US. • Enough to fuel 1 million cars/year. • 2.5 million tons of CO2. • 3 times the amount of water to produce the bottle as it does to fill it. • Only 1 in 5 bottles recycled. • 3 billion pounds of waste.

  13. Why Seldon Nanomesh™? A Shift in Filtration for POU

  14. Filtration EvolutionSteady Progress Sieving – Size Exclusion Pitfalls • Energy Consumed • Gross Filtration • Waste Stream • Residence Time • Use of Chemicals • Capacity Coarse Sieving Paper Media Resin Bonded Melt Blown Membrane Coalesce Ion Exchange Chemi- Adsorptive Electrolytic Chemical – Adsorption - Kinetic

  15. Nanomesh™ & FiltrationA Convergence of Technology Sieving – Size Exclusion Seldon Nanomesh™ Coarse Sieving Paper Media Resin Bonded Melt Blown Membrane Coalesce Ion Exchange Chemi- Adsorptive Electrolytic Chemical – Adsorption - Kinetic

  16. Nanomesh™ & FiltrationA Convergence of Technology Seldon Nanomesh™ Sieving - Size Exclusion Chemical – Adsorption – Kinetic

  17. Small diameter Large Surface Area Functionalizable More Porosity Variety of materials Easy to incorporate into media technology Nanofiber 0.3 m Air Molecules Nanotechnology & FiltrationBenefits of Nanofibers

  18. More Porosity - Less Energy - Lower Cost of Use Nanomesh™ Comparison Seldon Nanomesh™ Media Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane

  19. Superior filtration performance at a high flow rate No Chemicals No Waste No Power Water retains healthy Minerals = great taste Nanomesh™ Technology
