("Directa Plus" or the "Company")
Europe-wide Patent Granted for Grafysorber Hydrocarbon
Decontaminant
Directa Plus (AIM: DCTA), a leading producer and supplier of
graphene nanoplatelets based products for use in consumer and
industrial markets, announces that the Company has been granted an
EU-wide patent covering the use of its graphene based
Grafysorber(R) technology for treating waters and sludges
contaminated by hydrocarbons. Grafysorber(R) is sustainably
produced, non-flammable and reusable, with the adsorbed
hydrocarbons recoverable.
The field of application granted in the patent covers produced
waters, refinery waters, and, in general, any kind of wastewater
which contains relatively low but still dangerous amount of
hydrocarbons. Such waters are generally very difficult to treat and
often expensive and complex, involving multiple step processes that
in most cases must be specific for each type of hydrocarbon. By
contrast, the Company's Grafysorber(R) adsorbant offers an
effective and quick one-step process, that simply mixes the water
to be treated with Grafysorber(R) and then allows the contaminants
to be recovered.
The Grafysorber(R) technology can be applied to the treatment of
hydrocarbon/oil polluted water generated in a wide range of
industrial processes, from mechanical industry to condensate water
produced from air compressors to the treatment water used for
storage tank cleaning both onshore and offshore. Directa Plus, via
its subsidiary Setcar S.A., is already providing the Grafysorber(R)
decontamination service to a number of European based oil and gas
companies.
Commenting, Giulio Cesareo, Founder and CEO of Directa Plus,
said: "The award of a Europe-wide patent for our Grafysorber(R)
technology in the very large oil and gas sector potentially
increases our addressable market significantly. Our success in the
environmental sector is a reflection of our ability to introduce
graphene derived products to large existing markets."

About Directa Plus
Our focus is principally on the two sectors in which we have
strong commercial advantage through developed and launched products
and a technological lead: environmental (based on our
Grafysorber(R) product) and textiles (based on our G+ products). In
addition, we will continue to pursue opportunities in elastomers
and composites (including tyres and asphalt), also using our G+
products. All our products are hypoallergenic, non-toxic and
sustainably produced.
