(don't) Waste Water! | Water Tech to Solve the World

S9E7 - How to Eradicate Dead Zones, Cut Energy Needs by 80% and Double Lithium Selectivity


Listen Later

with 🎙️ Chris Wyres - CEO at Evove 

💧 Evove aims to take membranes to the next level, overcoming the inherent flaws in conventional architectures, hence transforming membranes, transforming separation, and filtration.


What we covered:


🥇 How G2O Water Technologies was founded around the use of graphene to coat membranes, how that was game-changing by itself and how Evove still took it to the next level 

🗝️ What the problem with incumbent membrane technologies is, and how Evove's technology aims to correct it 

🆙 How Evove's technologies multiply a membrane's specific surface by three, reduce energy consumptions up to 80%, improve desalination's yield by 30% and double the membrane's selectivity 

🖨️ How 3D-printed membranes at scale may disrupt the world of membrane filtration as we know it, and how they may unlock localized manufacturing 

0️⃣ How producing lithium and green hydrogen is a great thing to do, but if it comes at the expense of heavy carbon and environmental impacts, it doesn't make sense 

🚏 How Evove went down a different path than other companies developing graphene membranes and why 

💪 How the company picks applications where existing tech struggle to leverage their specific edge 

🕸️ How in the case of direct lithium extraction in particular, Evove's superior selectivity is an asset to sort out white oil from calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and all other salts 

↔️ How Evove didn't "just" design a lithium-catered membrane, but an entire end-to-end solution for effective production of lithium carbonate 

📏 How the company tailors its solution to every specific case, within 30 days, and supporting its customers end to end 

🦄 How Evove intends to become the water sector's first unicorn (well, second to Gradiant, but still, that's a bright and bold ambition!) 

💰 Precision engineering membrane pore size, preventing fouling and scaling, revamping the direct lithium extraction process train, Evove's business strategy, sub-sea desalination as a way to power green hydrogen, speeding up the pace of innovation adoption, advocating for increased capital focus on the water sector... and much more! 


🔥 ... and of course, we concluded with the 𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 🔥
