Clean TeQ Water has been awarded the Commonwealth Simple Grant under the Business Research and Innovation Initiative (BRII): Renewables and Low Emissions Round – Feasibility Program. Administered by the Department of Industry, Science, and Resources, this grant provides AU$80,000 (approximately USD$63,000) to support Clean TeQ Water’s efforts to innovate drinking water treatment technologies for remote communities.
Feasibility Study for NematiQ Graphene Membranes
The project, titled Graphene Membranes: Revolutionizing Drinking Water for Remote Communities, aims to evaluate the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of NematiQ Graphene Membranes. This advanced technology seeks to enhance water quality in underserved areas by removing harmful contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and organic pollutants.
As reported by graphene-info.com, the feasibility study, scheduled to run from December 2024 to May 2025, will examine the potential for Graphene Membranes to address these challenges. The study will also include a preliminary economic and sustainability analysis, offering insights into the practicality of deploying this innovative solution in remote settings.
Preparing for Scalability and Real-World Implementation
Clean TeQ Water aims to demonstrate the scalability and environmental benefits of Graphene Membranes. The findings from the feasibility study will serve as a foundation for the next phase, potentially unlocking up to AU$1 million in funding for field trials and pilot implementations.
Transforming Water Treatment for Remote Communities
Through this initiative, Clean TeQ Water is taking significant strides toward addressing water quality issues in remote and underserved areas. The company’s innovative approach promises not only to improve access to clean drinking water but also to set a new standard for sustainable water treatment technologies globally.
