Imagine IM announces commercial installation of its graphene coating for geotextiles

Imagine Intelligent Materials, an Australia-based graphene applications company, has announced a commercial installation of its imgne® X3 solution at a Queensland coal seam gas site, completed during the second week of May.

The installations cover a total of more than 10,000 m² (108,000 ft²) of bidim C geotextiles, manufactured by Geofabrics Australasia. The conductive coating enables detection of holes as small as 0.7 mm using preexisting, proven electrical testing techniques. The solution allows operators to reduce the risk of leakage of toxic leachate from coal seam gas mining into groundwater and aquifers.
