I have researched for six months in the R&D team of a knowledge enterprise company (Polymer Gostar Fartak Pars) on the fabrication of micro and ultrafiltration hollow fiber and flat sheet membranes for water treatment. I have been working on a portable water purification straw name "Nanostraw" that is an ultra-light, high-performance, portable water filter and is ideal for hiking, backpacking, camping, travel, and emergency preparedness. This filter design lets people turn up contaminated water into safe drinking water to be used for drinking directly from rivers, lakes, and other freshwater sources. Nanostraw can filter up to 1000 liters. The implementation of hollow fiber membranes can remove 99.99 percent of waterborne bacteria, including E. coli, salmonella, and 99.9 percent of waterborne protozoa, including Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Therefore, it ultimately reduces the risk of contracting illnesses such as diarrhea, dysentery, and Giardia.
