Dais Enters into $48 Million Water Purification Agreement

Dais Analytic Corporation of Odessa, Florida, USA (Dais)(OTCBB: DLYT), a nanotechnology water and energy development company has entered into a water purification agreement with CAST Systems Control Technology Co. Ltd, a leading water and energy project company in China, and Genertec America, a subsidiary of China General Technology (Group ) Holding, Limited . The sales agreement, valued at $48 million over a 12 month period, requires that Dais provide Genertec and CAST the components of its nanotechnology clean water treatment process, known as NanoClear. The technology will be used in Northern China as a centerpiece in a water purification facility that will convert wastewater to “zero contaminant discharge.”

The contract, which is expected to result in over 1000 jobs in Odessa, builds on an agreement that Dais entered into in November, 2009. That distribution agreement, valued at $200 million, is related to advanced water and energy technology that Dais has developed and manufactured.

As a result of the agreements that Dais has made with the two companies, Dais’ water technology may very well become the basis of many portable water purification products in the future. Dais in reference to its portable or Point-of-Use applications, says that NanoClear process “unlike competing capital intensive technologies….. retains it efficiency at small scale so a large plant is not required to reach the desired thermal and electrical efficiency.” The company goes on to say that “NanoClear can be viewed as a building block for a distributed water processing rather than only a centralized large scale operation, or “Point Of Use” applications.”

The system, based on a nanotechnology membrane, does not need high pressure or any significant temperature differential to operate. Dais points out that the low temperature differentials required by this process allow the use of “plentiful, thermal energy sources that exist within the natural environment.” Specifically Dais says that for the desalination of water, its technology only requires a one degree centigrade temperature difference to work. The system, which it demonstrates on its web site, requires 3 to 4 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy to purify one cubic meter of water, a level which Dais reports, makes it competitive with reverse osmosis.

The NanoClear water purification process differentiates itself from other filter technologies in that it filters water molecules from the water solution, as opposed to filtering out impurities from the water. Because the system does not require molecular identification other than the water molecule, the system offers the capability to produce the purest of water at one of the lowest of prices. Other systems, because they must be designed to identify an ever growing range of different molecules, limit themselves in that this approach is plagued with inefficiencies that make their design, manufacturer expensive and ad hoc in nature.
