The Life Saver
Graphene Water Filtration & Purification.
GLC Environmental Technologies Inc. (GLCE) has developed an innovative water filtration and purification technology designed to address the complex challenges of water treatment in industrial applications.
The results demonstrate the potential of GLCE’s filtration system to deliver high-quality, purified water while removing contaminants and reducing Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).
Our Focus
Graphene Solutions is committed to further refining and scaling its GLCE filter technology to meet the growing demand for efficient and reliable water purification solutions. Future efforts will focus on expanding the technology’s applications, enhancing its performance, and exploring new markets.
Graphene Solutions is prepared to launch field tests of the G2+ filtration system, seeking partners for collaborative pilot projects.
Key Features of G2+ Filter Technology
- Adaptable Media: GLCE’s G2+ filter technology is media-focused, allowing it to be integrated into various filter designs and configurations. This flexibility ensures optimal performance across different industrial applications.
- High Contaminant Removal Efficiency: The filter media effectively reduces heavy metals (e.g., lead, mercury, barium, and iron), hydrocarbons, polyacrylamides, and other contaminants to trace or non-detectable levels.
Proven Results in Collaboration with E&P Company
- TDS reduced from 92,408 ppm to 131 ppm in single-pass mode.
- Polyacrylamides reduced from 288 ppm to less than 1 ppm in single-pass mode.
- Salinity reduced from 9% to 0% in single-pass mode.
Applications and Benefits
- Industrial Water Treatment: Ideal for industries needing to purify large volumes of water contaminated with heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and other industrial pollutants.
- Water Recycling: Facilitates the reuse of treated water, reducing the need for freshwater resources and supporting sustainable water management practices.
- Environmental Compliance: Helps industries meet regulatory standards by effectively removing harmful contaminants from wastewater.
Future Development
