Principles and Features of Implementation
All startups in the BNT Ecosystem require continuous scientific research. In addition, monitoring of the market for nanotechnology products is necessary to maintain a wide range of products of synthetic and natural nanomaterials. Standard technologies will be developed using an advanced computer support system – CALS-technologies (Continuous Acquisition and Life Cycle Support).
The CALS concept is based on a set of unified information models, standardization of methods of access to sensitive (know-how) information and its correct interpretation. Invariants that are implemented (in whole or in part) during the life cycle of a product range are the essence of the CALS concept, which fundamentally distinguishes it from other concepts.
Our infrastructure startup for manufacturing carbon nanomatrices (CNMs) can serve as an example. Among the considered stages of the CNM life cycle in the CALS concept (marketing, design, production, implementation and operation), primary focus will be on design. When designing a pilot plant based on the information CALS standard ISO 10303 STEP, a typical diagram (application protocol) for the standard operating procedure will be created.
For the standard operating procedure, the CALS project typical diagram has the following main categories: general characteristics of production; characteristics of manufactured products; characteristics of feedstock, raw material, semi-finished products and energy resources; description of the technological process and process flow diagram; process mass balance; consumption rates of the main types of feedstock, raw material and energy resources; waste generation standards; production control and industrial process management; possible malfunctions and ways to eliminate them; environmental protection.
A new breakthrough in nanotechnology: eco-friendly graphene oxide from bioresources
Our «Bank of Nanotechnologies» announces a significant expansion of its research and development (R&D) portfolio. Our experts have developed a unique method for synthesizing graphene oxide (GO) from biopolymers and a wide range of polysaccharides and monosaccharides.
Two main factors have hindered the development of the global graphene oxide market:
- High cost: The price of the material was too high for price-sensitive industries such as agriculture, metallurgy, and construction. Solution: The cost of our material is ten times lower than the average market price!
- Scaling issues: Expanding the production of carbon nanomaterials using standard technologies has a critical impact on the environment. Solution: Our bottom-up SHS approach ensures environmental safety in full compliance with sustainable agriculture and green industry standards.
The use of suitable composition and morphology, as well as accessible and cheap bio-raw materials on a global scale, has eliminated key market limitations. We have already developed methods for applying the new graphene oxide in various economic sectors.
In the near future, we will tell you about this and other promising projects on our page dedicated to infrastructure launch.
Stay tuned for updates!
