RNS - new tech and trading A new way to apply graphene in structural uses. Agreement for development. Trading in line, though cash higher than expected.
Re: repeating Sage in the Hill's questio... A good spot oneway .....but as you say, this is their statement of intent, and their dream .....Modern Water are ALREADY established in the technology, research and infrastructure of desalination testing and development ... hence their confirmed link up with Manchester.I would think that Nanochem are therefore still several miles down the road ....SAGE
Re: repeating Sage in the Hill's question !! I found this over the BH weekend on trawling through the Graphene Nanochem RNS's. Graphene Nanochem seem to have reorganised their business with a focus on 3 specific areas one of which is water treatment and desalination. The Group announced on 11th April 2016 its business reorganization strategy, which is ongoing Best in class partnerships have been established for implementation of current and identified projects Two new divisions to complement the Nanofluids division for growth, namely the Water & Polymer divisions with current and identified projects Strategic focus by the Group is currently on the three high margin platforms, the nanofluids (oil field chemicals) and water treatment, and enhanced building materials offerings with strategic partnerships and alliances entered into and efforts are continuing in building other long term sustainable partnerships and alliances.Water Treatment Within the Water Treatment offerings the Group is able to source, treat and distribute water in a cost effective manner. Current focus sectors are clean drinking water, desalination, processed & produced water, and sewage & waste water treatment. etc "[link] sure of there is similar on AGM. Own due diligence
Detail of MWG news ... University of Manchester and Masdar's collaborative graphene-based water desalination project gets a $500,000 boostMar 29, 2017The University of Manchester and The UAE-based Masdar Institute of Science and Technology have announced a $500,000 (AED1.8 million) funding from the UK, for a recently declared collaborative research program. It seems that this funding is directly aimed at a project that uses graphene to improve water desalination techniques.Global resource management leader Veolia, UK-based membrane processes technologies leader Modern Water and leading mineral project developer Neometals, will participate in this collaborative research project as industrial partners and potential end-users.Permalink read more Read the full story Posted: Mar 29, 2017SAGE

Re: repeating Sage in the Hill's question !! 28 March 2017Modern Water plc(Modern WaterModern Water to contribute to cutting-edge graphene researchwith the Masdar Institute and the University of ManchesterModern Water plc (AIM: MWG), the owner of world-leading technologies for water andwastewater treatment and for water quality monitoring, is pleased to announce that it has beenchosen to contribute its design and development capabilities to a new research project run bythe Masdar Institute of Science and Technology and the University of Manchester.The research will examine the viability of using graphene to improve water desalinationtechniques and has been awarded US$ 500,000 funding from the UK governments Departmentfor Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy in partnership with the British Council.Modern Water will add its knowledge and expertise in water treatment and membrane designto the project. The research division of Veolia, the world-leading environmental services group,has also been selected to take part in the research.The aim of the project is to design and engineer nano-structures for graphene-based electrodesand membranes and look to develop systems for desalination and water purification applications.Emerging capacitive deionization and membrane-based desalination technology are believed tohave the potential to help meet global water demands in a more energy-efficient manner.Integrating the nano-structured hierarchical graphene into the electrodes and membrane ishoped to overcome the limiting factors of conventional materials by lowering energyconsumption, increasing water production efficiency and reducing membrane fouling.Dr Linda Zhou, professor of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the Masdar Institute,said: [O]ur main objective is to develop a two-dimensional materials-based solutions fordesalination and water purification in the form of a next-generation graphene-based electrodesand membranes. Our end goal is to transfer these research outcomes into water technologiesso we can have a real-world impact on the global issue of water security.Simon Humphrey, CEO of Modern Water commented: We are delighted to take part in suchexciting research in an area which could be of great value to future water treatment and supply.We are confident that our leading know-how in membrane processes and desalination will be ofsignificant benefit to the project and we are looking forward to working alongside our newresearch colleagues.For further information, please see [link] on our website to receive regular updates on Modern Water plc by email:[link] further information please contact:Notes to Editors:About Modern WaterModern Water owns, installs and operates world-leading membrane technology and develops and suppliesadvanced systems for water monitoring.

Fresh blood The main difficulty , it seems to me, is that ALL Graphene -based companies struggle to find an application that is mass cash generative.Even though the product, graphene, has amazing properties, it is a case of identifying applications and markets that will generate the cash.I think motor industry, all forms of transport, filtration, recycling ... are some of the more rewarding places to look.SAGE

Lets hope AGM can benefit from this: [link]
