Ur-Water has licensed from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation a Patent developed by Professor Anderson and Dr. Kevin Leonard, a former PhD student for a unique form of capacitive deionization (CDI). This form of CDI involves the construction of composite electrodes whereby different nanoporous oxides are bound to conductive carbon substrates. This produces an asymmetric pair of electrodes for the removal of ions from water. The ions that are removed by applying a potential are sequestered in the electrical double layer near the electrode surface thereby storing energy in a capacitive format. This energy is available for reuse during recharge permitting greater than 85% energy recovery and making the process competitive with reverse osmosis especially given the process does not use high pressures nor membranes that can foul.
