Water Enabled Technologies and Clemson University sign Memorandum of Understanding

21 May 2010

The collaboration is designed to match the resources and capabilities of Water Enabled Technologies and Clemson University in a joint research effort to develop desalination products.

Water Enabled Technologies has announced a new desalination technology, the Modular Desalination Unit (MDU). The MDU provides fresh water at a fraction of the cost and energy requirements of current methods.

Dr Jim Kaiser, chief scientist for Water Enabled Technologies said: “This agreement with Clemson is historic for all concerned, for between our company and this internationally recognised University, we are giving birth to a technology that will have an effect on all of mankind.”
