Clean TeQ Graphene Membrane (NematiQ)¶
Membranes & Advanced Filtration • Est. CapEx: Low-cost / Locally fabricated
Technical Overview¶
Clean TeQ Water's graphene oxide membranes are commercially available ultra-tight ultrafilters with a molecular cutoff of 800 Daltons, designed to remove bacteria, viruses, and organic matter from water. They operate at low pressure (2-6 bar) and are resistant to fouling, making them ideal for drinking water and industrial wastewater treatment.
Key Specifications & Engineering Parameters¶
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Category | Membranes & Advanced Filtration |
| Capital Cost | Low-cost / Locally fabricated |
| Primary Mechanism | The membrane uses layered graphene oxide sheets that create nanochannels. Water passes through while larger contaminants (e.g., natural organic matter, pathogens) are blocked. The antifouling nature of graphene reduces biofilm formation, and membrane operates via low-pressure crossflow filtration. |
| Target Scale | Household / Village Cluster |
| Standard Lifespan | 10 - 20 Years |
