Wanted: Clean Drinking Water
Lockheed Martin introduces affordable solution to address growing global problem
While water covers more than 70 percent of Earth, only about 3 percent is considered clean enough to drink. With the global demand for potable water growing, the sea is viewed as a potential solution.
In order to drink this water, it must be desalinated. Reverse osmosis systems can achieve this through a costly process that requires large amounts of energy.
Now, Lockheed Martin is working on a solution that will offer an answer. The company recently received a patent for Perforene™ material, a molecular filtration solution designed to meet the growing global demand for potable water.
“Access to clean drinking water is going to become more critical as the global population continues to grow, and we believe that this simple and affordable solution will be a game-changer for the industry,” said Dr. Ray O Johnson, Lockheed Martin senior vice president and chief technology officer.
