India H2O will:

​

​

• Develop novel batch-reverse osmosis technology for a reduction in specific energy consumption with high fractions of water recovery. 

​

​

​

• Develop forward osmosis and piloted this for use in wastewater recovery applications including hybrid arrangements with reverse osmosis for further reduction in energy consumption. 

​

​

​

• Demonstrated these solutions in small-scale rurally relevant low-cost systems for brackish groundwater treatment for use as safe drinking water

​

​

• Extended this system to include phyto-technology solutions for rural domestic wastewater treatment.  These systems will remove salinity and emerging pollutants, valorise rejected brines in halophytic crop cultivation. 

​

​

• For specific industrial wastewater in textile, desalination and dairy, we will develop and demonstrate cost-effective high-efficiency hybrid technologies for water recycling with minimum liquid discharge, using advanced membrane technologies to achieve the required water quality for recycling.
