Can 4 Volts of Electricity Replace 60 Bars of Pressure in Seawater Desalination? ilion Water Technologies is a 2025 spinout from the Physics Laboratory of the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. Their VIRO (Voltage-Induced Reverse Osmosis) technology claims to replace the high-pressure pump train in seawater desalination with an alternating electric field applied to engineered composite membranes, operating at atmospheric pressure. 🌶️ KEY SPICES 🌶️ ⚡ VIRO generates ~15 equivalent bars of pressure per applied volt, targeting the 60-bar threshold used in industrial seawater RO 💰 ilion closed a €3.8M ($4.46M) pre-seed co-led...

Four volts of electricity, that's what a team from one of France's most prestigious physics labs claims it takes to replace 60 bars of mechanical pressure in seawater desalination. And if you've been in the water sector long enough, your first instinct when you hear something like that is probably the same as mine. Sounds good, probably works in the lab, but wouldn't survive its
encounter with the harsh, cold-hurted fields. But the reason I'm covering alien water technologies today because yes that's the team we're talking about is that a few things about this story don't fit the usual pattern and when things don't fit the usual pattern in a space I've been tracking obsessively for six years having interviewed over 300 water tech companies on camera
I pay attention. So here's the setup. Indian Water Technologies is a company that spun out of the physics laboratory of Normal Supérieur in Paris, which the French among you will know as LPUNS in February 2025. And their core claim is that they have figured out how to replace the single most expensive
