Tetrels Technology Corp.

Tetrels Technology Corp. operates as a manufacturer of nanomembranes, specifically developing graphene-based solutions for water filtration. The company was established in 2017 by co-founders Zisong Nie and Li Kunzhou and is based in Baoshan, China. It has secured funding from one institutional investor, CM Venture.

The core business addresses the persistent issue of fouling in commercial water filtration, a problem that necessitates frequent and costly cleaning and replacement of membrane products. Tetrels has engineered a graphene-integrated ultrafiltration (UF) membrane designed to counteract this fouling. This technology aims to extend the lifespan and improve the efficiency of membrane cartridges. The integration of graphene is based on its material properties, such as high surface area, mechanical strength, and chemical stability, which contribute to a more robust and foul-resistant membrane. These membranes can operate at lower pressures, potentially reducing energy consumption by 20-50%.

The company's product is a graphene-based UF membrane that serves the water treatment market. This product is applicable for various uses, including pre-treatment for reverse osmosis (RO), potable water treatment, and industrial wastewater applications. By reducing the rate of fouling, the membranes decrease the need for frequent cleaning, chemical usage, and operational downtime. Tetrels has developed its own intellectual property for this technology and has arranged exclusive partnerships for mass production to enter the multi-billion dollar membrane filtration market.
