时间过的很快，马上就来到美国两年半了，仿佛2008年2月刚到美国的那一刻历历在目，2月的某天，我们拖着疲惫的身躯刚下飞机，特别是老婆Gairy已经怀有快六个月的身孕，好不容易飞机降落了，过了海关出了机场。来机场接我们的Jin和Greg还没有到，我们就等了会。后来就上了车，车子很快就奔驰在此后两年半熟悉的不能再熟悉的405号高速公路。高速两边华灯初上了，看着“破破烂烂”的美国（老婆总是说美国是最大的农村，即使我们生活在美国的天使之城洛杉矶），心里感概万千。

Veolia Water Solutions & Technology has entered in a five-year partnership with California’s NanoH2O to jointly explore opportunities for a new, higher flux SWRO membrane product. Under the agreement, which is best characterized as a technology partnership, NanoH2O
will supply its 8-inch diameter nanocomposite seawater elements to Veolia Water Solutions for use in SWRO projects.
The new membrane technology was originally developed by UCLA professor Eric Hoek before NanoH2O took over its commercialization three years ago. Since then, the company’s scientists have hand-cast more 8,000 membranes for bench testing and have pilot tested its four-inch diameter elements in a SWRO pilot unit for two years at Port Hueneme, California.
