Stats
We all know how many people lack clean drinking water
and the death and disease rate as the result thereof.
But, did you know….
• There’s $2.2 billion, in 880 million lbs. of copper inside
Lake Burragorang, Australia.
• When extracted with other contaminants, the residual
water in the lake will be clean and safe for drinking and
agricultural use… or in other words – PRICELESS!
Even higher levels are seen around mines in Africa and South America.
*See Applications Inventorship and Costs attached.
Is this Realistic?
5. Contaminated Water Sources
Rivers, streams, lakes and ponds
unfortunately provide unusable
sources for drinking water…
The same water that keeps some
alive, also causes diseases, killing and
hospitalizing millions every year…

6. Wells provide clean drinking water…
• It is difficult to transport heavy equipment to reach remote locations.
• Limitations are posed by terrain, soil composition and the depth of aquifers.
• Climate and weather often contribute to high maintenance or failure.
Deep Water Wells
But the demand exceeds the supply.

7. But with limited effectiveness or high cost.
• Some filters remove most bacteria and viruses, but harmful metals remain.
• Most devices use disposable filters that cannot be renewed or recycled.
• Highly effective units are simply unaffordable for millions worldwide.
Filtration Devices
Filters provide a range of alternatives…

8. 100 gl. of seawater produces 15 to 50 gl. of fresh water.
• Extremely high energy use and the treatment of by-products are very expensive.
• Brine, a highly concentrated by-product, is a major environmental problem.
• Developing cost-effective ways of providing fresh water is a critical challenge.

Research Center.
The Nanotech Innovations SSP-354 provides a reliable source of
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for research and product development.
CNTs pack the conductivity and strength of graphene sheets within
nanoscale cylinders exhibiting extreme length-to-diameter aspect
ratios. As such, CNTs are poised to continue impacting the materials,
electronics, medical and energy sectors.
Our patented technology behind the Nanotech Innovations SSP-354,
has been mentioned among inventions that have helped shape
everyday life. These include the flashcube (1965), the automated
teller machine (1973), the halogen lamp (1974), the fax machine
(1975), the liquid crystal display (1980), the Kodak Photo CD (1991),
