The size of the Graphene Cell was specifically designed in order to provide a significant capital cost advantage when compared to alternative methods of producing bulk graphene. Rather than be dependent upon a central processing facility from which graphene products can be shipped around the world, the Cell offers the flexibility of being able to be located in the factories of graphene customers for just-in-time manufacturing and delivery of graphene. Not only does this make for efficient inventory management, it also ensures that the graphene is of pristine quality when it is added to the material that is being enhanced. Another benefit of being located on the factory floor includes the avoidance of transportation costs. It is much cheaper to transport the graphite ore to the place of conversion into graphene than it would be to ship graphene itself. If the graphene were shipped in an aqueous solution it would normally be a maximum of 5% graphene and 95% water, which is expensive to transport. If the graphene was in powder form you would find that the swell factor is enormous, with graphene having a specific gravity of around 0.008 i.e. a 20 foot shipping container could only house approximately 250 kilograms of graphene, whereas the same container could hold 20 tonnes of graphite. The low capital cost of a Graphene Cell provides an enormous competitive advantage. Being modular, there is no need to construct a single, expensive production facility. There is no need to finance and spend large sums of money on production capacity, with the dilution of shareholders’ equity in the process. Production capacity can be added as and when required, in parallel to the receipt of orders from customers.
