WATER STANDARD

WATER STANDARD was honored by Nobel Peace Prize winner and former United States Vice President Al Gore with the “Desalination Deal of the Year” award at Global Water Intelligence’s Global Water Awards Ceremony held April 2009 in Zurich, Switzerland. WATER STANDARD was described as “redefining an industry”. Read more »

WATER STANDARD’s vessel approach has received positive recognition from the Hopkins Marine Station at Stanford University. Dr. George N. Somero, Director of the Hopkins Marine Station said WATER STANDARD’s vessel designs and approach promises to “help solve a major human problem – providing pure water to communities in great need of this resource – without inflicting damage on the marine environment.” Dr. Somero has studied the effects of environmental factors on marine organisms for over four decades and, in recognition of his discoveries, has been elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences.

WATER STANDARD’s processes have also been featured in a special presentation on worldwide water issues by the Sundance Channel’s Big Ideas for a Small Planet series which is recognized for its environmental focus and for “celebrating innovators on the front lines of change”. Watch video »

According to the 2011 GWI Produced Water Market Report, WATER STANDARD “is probably the only treatment specialist to have locked on to the opportunities in desalination for enhanced oil recovery” and identified as one of the eleven Potential Winners in the growth in produced water treatment.

In an October 8, 2007 report, Goldman Sachs & Co. reported, “We consider WATER STANDARD to be one of the most exciting stories in the global water sector.”

“With [WATER STANDARD’s] technology, desalination soon may leave the realm of wishful thinking and become one of the world’s primary means to augment clean, environmentally responsible, reliable global water supplies,” according to an article in the Journal of the American Water Works Association.

Referring to Australia, Global Water Intelligence reported that “a country where the population is concentrated around the coastline is ideally suited to the benefits offered by WATER STANDARD’s [vessel-based approach].”

Judges in the 2007 Global Water Awards called WATER STANDARD’s vessel approach an “important new direction in the evolution of the desalination industry.”
