NematiQ Graphene Nanofiltration Membrane¶
Membranes & Advanced Filtration • Est. CapEx: Low-cost / Locally fabricated
Technical Overview¶
An advanced water purification membrane manufactured by NematiQ (Australia) that leverages graphene-oxide nanostructures to achieve high-selectivity filtration. It targets municipal, industrial, and desalination markets requiring finer contaminant removal than conventional polyamide membranes.
Key Specifications & Engineering Parameters¶
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Category | Membranes & Advanced Filtration |
| Capital Cost | Low-cost / Locally fabricated |
| Primary Mechanism | Atomic-thickness graphene-oxide sheets are engineered with controlled nano-channels that allow rapid water permeation while blocking dissolved salts, organics, and microplastics via size exclusion and electrostatic repulsion. The hydrophobic/graphitic structure reduces fouling tendency compared to traditional polymer membranes. |
| Target Scale | Household / Village Cluster |
| Standard Lifespan | 10 - 20 Years |
