Description

Introducing GRAFTA™, a novel patented graphene-based adsorbent for water and wastewater treatment and in-situ remediation.

GRAFTA™ is graphene-based nanotechnology adsorbent, produced partly using waste material, utilizing the exceptional adsorption capacity of graphene and graphene oxide leading to a highly efficient, cost effective and scalable water and wastewater treatment and remediation solution. GRAFTA™ is a proven technology for removing heavy metals and a wide range of organic compounds from waters and wastewaters of various chemical composition.
