Mr. Bromley is the inventor and leader in the development of a highly efficient water treatment technology known as Nanoflotation. The technology is now recognized by the China Ministry of Environmental Protection as one of the top 100 environmental technologies in the world. Recently, in 2017, the technology was nominated and was a finalist in the California based Katerva Awards for the most disruptive sustainable technology in the world. The technology provides a tenfold capacity improvement in conventional water treatment processes as well as 90% reduction in energy consumption. Because of the high level of efficiency, IBM has financially invested into the Nanoflotation technology. IBM selected the technology as IBM’s entry point into the application of IBM’s WatsonTM data analytics for water treatment.
