Project Φ4: Filtration
 

 

 

Abstract: In the interest of reducing dependency on foreign agents to repair and maintain the 112th water and oil filtration systems as well as to increase the efficiency of the filtration being rendered by the material components a simple solution can be put into effect requiring the joint efforts of FFRL researchers, fleet operatives, and the engineering division. This would be accomplished via the development of graphene filtration as shown below and its interrogation into the existing systems aboard the ship and any future operations.

 

 

Entry 0. The graphene-based core components required for the manufacturing and development of these filters can be readily constructed in-house. The proper manufacturing equipment itself will require fabrication by engineering with possible parts acquisition assisted by the mobile infantry. Once constructed regular operation and maintenance of the manufacturing equipment will be under the jurisdiction of the engineering division and the Forward Research Laboratory staff. The raw material to be processed by this equipment in order to manufacture the filtration system parts being common graphite is harvestable from meteorites through the assistance of the fleet command division. The projected manufacturing equipment would be designed to complete the repetitive task of material reduction in order to produce graphene from graphite. The equipment will require a connection to a computational terminal in order to allow for advanced programming of 3-Dimensional figures of the desired graphene product output. It is anticipated that this equipment will be vital in future research and development objects as well.

 

The advantage of graphene filtration as opposed to the commonly employed methods, beyond easy replacement and low-cost replacement is that the process of filtration occurs at the atomic level whereas most filtration sysmtems only filter for contaminaents over ~.3 microns; this means that a graphene filter is controlling for objects approximately 1,000,000 times smaller, in the picometer scale as depicted below via an approximation. The hexagonal walls shown represent the graphene sheets, constructed of double-bonded carbon atoms arranged in a single-atom thick lattice. The smaller molecules of dihydrogen monoxide are able to pass through the lattice while larger contaminants and molecules are caught in the structures.

 

Assignments: Tech Sargent Heckle Phan has been assigned to organised the Engineering Division's efforts on the project under my supervision.
