In March 2013, Lockheed Martin announced that it was developing a family of membranes made from graphene, under the trademark Perforene. The most promising application is seawater desalination. With holes as small as one nanometer in diameter, the membranes would trap sodium, chlorine and other ions, while allowing water molecules to pass through easily.

dbo:abstract
  • In March 2013, Lockheed Martin announced that it was developing a family of membranes made from graphene, under the trademark Perforene. The most promising application is seawater desalination. With holes as small as one nanometer in diameter, the membranes would trap sodium, chlorine and other ions, while allowing water molecules to pass through easily. Performance expectations (relative to the use of reverse osmosis membranes) include: * Up to 5x increase in flux across the membrane * Fouling reduction of up to 80% * Approximately 100x less energy and pressure required. (This claim was reported by Reuters. Lockheed Martin's current product datasheet predicts a more modest reduction in energy consumption: 10 - 20%.) In addition to the desalination industry, Lockheed Martin plans to market Perforene variants in the following fields: * Waste water treatment * Pharmaceutical material harvest and purification * Energy/power generation * Mining * Food and beverage * Manufacturing The product was not expected to be released until 2020.
