The technology used in Nanalum was developed by NASA as a way to reuse waste water on the International Space Station. Nanalum works through electro-absorption and is manufactured with non-woven highly engineered water filter paper which is also impregnated with Granular Activated Carbon (GAC). The Nanalum module has a strong positive electrostatic charge when wet. Like a strong magnet, the positive electrostatic charge of the Nanalum attracts and traps organic contaminants.
 
Nanalum can remove:
Viruses (Hepatitis A, Hepatitis E, Poliovirus, Meningitis, etc)
Bacteria (E. Coli, Cholera, Typhoid, etc)
Protozoa (Cryptosporidium)
Parasites (Giardia)
Heavy Metals
Chemicals
