Using nano membrane technology, Global Research and Development, Inc., is structured around delivery of products designed to save manufacturing costs by both military and commercial ntities and to provide innovative system benefits to outdated technologies. Areas of focus include: Oxygen production: to meet the demand for bedside medical oxygen units, the firm has developed an electrochemical nano-membrane pump for separating oxygen for ambient air. - technology that replaces costly units previously providing low oxygen purity, requiring considerable maintenance, and having a limited shelf-life due to intrinsic moisture absorption. Fuel cells: the firm's technology reduces amount of materials required to manufacture thin (versus thick) films providing faster processing due ro a power-efficient production that is intrinsically easier to automate, lowers unit weight, and improves waste-heat management during operation. In the arena of Water filtration, the firm has broadened application of membrane technology for water recovery from contaminated sources such as agricultural runoff, produced water, industrial and residential wastewater. In addition, the firm's developed system can be used in pre-purification for water desalination by reverse osmosis and further purification of already clean water sources (e.g., for virus removal).
