HydroGraph Clean Power has announced that it has opened its 13,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Manhattan, KS for production of its graphene materials.
The company’s patented Hyperion detonation process reportedly achieves high quality graphene at both the lower cost and an environmentally friendly manner due to its low energy consumption and absence of emissions.
The completion of our new facility marks a key milestone in the revolution of graphene production and commercialization from lab to market, said Stuart Jara, HydroGraph chief executive officer. The HydroGraph process produces 99.8% pure graphene in identical batches with the lowest environmental footprint, striking at the heart of what’s needed to make graphene the world’s first 2D material discovered.
The new facility is designed using the famous Bell Labs approach, providing R&D workspace near the manufacturing and production process to enhance future innovation and product development. HydroGraph’s R&D infrastructure combines a unique network of chemistry, physics and engineering disciplines.
This facility is the pinnacle in research and development, said Dr. Chris Sorensen, vice president R&D. Our new space allows the science to flourish and, as a result, will allow graphene to live up to its potential to change the world.
HydroGraph’s graphene plant is now operational and scaling to commercial production by the end of the year, kicking off a five-year plant expansion and job creation plan for the Manhattan, KS region.
