The story behind the discovery of the gel membrane is remarkable. Like all great discoveries in science, the filter membrane was identified serendipitously whilst undertaking experimental research at the UQ Algae Energy Farm.
Professor Peer Schenk and Dr Ali Malekizadeh noticed that during their experiments, a white gel formed that they could use as a ultra filter with exceptional flow rate throughput more so than any existing in the market today. Recognising that there is a global opportunity to offer a low cost, high flow ultra filtration technology, UQ continued to develop and patent this new low cost water filtration technology.
Blue Quest Group was established as a Joint Venture with
UniQuest (the commercialisation arm of The University of Queensland) to commercialise the hydrate membrane filtration medium technology. Blue Quest Group holds an exclusive licence to commercialise the Hydrate Membrane technology across all market sectors except mine water treatment and on shore exploration and
production of oil and gas applications.
