zNano is OPTION #3:

Technology DISRUPTION!!!

$1 bil; 50 MGD

$20/ Gal per DAY

$23 mil (planning); 2 MGD

$200 mil (construction) REF: SF PUC

$13/ Gal per DAY (planning cost)

$100/ Gal per DAY (construction cost)

Same Tech; Just Smaller

Desalination Recycled Water zNano Water

Treatment Appliances

$4.50/ Gal per DAY (most efficient size)

$10.50/Gal per Day (google’s unit: total installed cost)


...and its >80% cleaner than Tap Water!
