Filtration for the Future
Aavalor GreenTech is a sustainable water technology company that will provide industry with revolutionary filtration innovation to reduce energy consumption and create circularity of water. Our graphene-based filtration technology creates the potential for circularity in industry's use of water, a reduction in resource requirements, and the ability to purify wastewater without electricity.
We will engage sustainably minded technical partners and impact investors who share our dream to improve the World through innovation.
Our prototype (Patent Pending) is lab tested and approved to remove heavy metals, contaminants, bacteria and salt, without any electricity (gravity-based).
Developed in our CTO's home in India, our graphene-based membrane prototype is proof that our filtration innovation is capable of revolutionizing the water filtration market.
In the glass on the left, Aryan Aviraj (CTO) pours wastewater into the top of our filter. Via gravity, the wastewater passes through our filter, producing clean water that may be seen in the glass on the right.
No electricity was used, a majority of contaminants were removed, and 95% of clean water was produced.

Our competitor is Reverse Osmosis (RO) filtration systems: the market standard. RO filtration technology is used in a majority of modern day practices: industrial filtration, desalination, domestic filtration, etc.
The problem? It is unsustainable.
RO filters purify 40% of water, creating 60% waste. They require quarterly replacement and regular maintenance, which includes a toxic chemical wash. Furthermore, excess energy is required to push water through the compacted polypropylene membrane.
Aavalor's filtration technology is a sustainable solution to the current modern problems with water and wastewater filtration. In our current prototype we observed the following:
Given these results, we estimate the a lab-produced, industrial level filter with Aavalor's patent-pending membrane will do the following:
Our beachhead market is the wastewater industry. Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane filters are inefficient, yet they are the industry standard for wastewater filtration. The wastewater industry wastes 666 Billion liters of water and emits 248 Million tons of carbon every year. RO membranes achieve 40% water recovery, meaning 60% of water is wasted in the process. Furthermore, RO membranes are compact and require high pressure (150+ PSI) to operate: energy inefficient.
Our graphene-based nanofiltration membrane is a direct solution to these issues. Our nanofilter membrane reports 95% water recovery (5% water waste), which reduces water waste, improves system efficiency, and creates the opportunity for circularity within water production & consumption. As for energy efficiency, our filter requires less working pressure to operate; we are targeting a working pressure of <100 PSI for industrial wastewater filtration.
A Lead Researcher at a global wastewater corporation had this to say about the energy efficiency of our technology: "Even a 10% reduction in PSI requirements (~100 PSI) would drastically reduce our carbon footprint and create massive savings on our monthly energy bill."
Aryan Aviraj, CTO, won the II Global Graphene Call competition, an all-expenses-paid laboratory program to develop our graphene-based prototype from TRL 4 to TRL 6. To the right is a mockup.
We are developing an industrial level (21 inch * 2.5 inch filter) water filter that will enable us to test against target KPIs. Our goal is to prove our technology's capability for sustainable wastewater filtration and desalination, at the industrial level.
We are interested to partner with universities, wastewater companies, and technology-based organizations for the testing and development of our prototype.
In order to progress with our technology development, we require funding. Although funding is a necessity, our focus is to engage with impactful organizations and/or individuals who are interested to become long term partners. Deep connections is our priority; funding is a means to continue our development.
We are interested to connect with Angel Investors who are passionate about sustainability, clean water, and the development of revolutionary technology.
Team Aavalor is a multi-national group that consists of three entrepreneurs who are dedicated to create a positive impact on the world. Encouraged by their complimentary skills and interests, they teamed up to create a sustainable technology organization in the pursuit of deep, innovative solutions to modern day problems.
CEO & Co-founder
Ian is a social entrepreneur who is dedicated to using his business skills to create a more holistic world for tomorrow. Ian is an experienced salesman and apt to the art of building and maintaining strong relationships. He has strong leadership and presentation skills, as well as overall business acumen.
CTO & Founder .
Aryan Aviraj is an accomplished marine engineering professional. Aryan exhibits a firm, but flexible approach to innovation. He demonstrates ability to streamline operations. He possesses a passion for solving global problems through innovation, and is a highly organized individual.
IP & Strategy Advisor Praj is a business-oriented European Patent Attorney and IP strategist with over 12 years of experience. Prajwal has worked in close collaboration with various inventors, business executives, and IP professionals in global markets. He has a keen interest in cleantech and green innovations
Spanning across 3 different parts of the World, Team Aavalor united under one common goal: to achieve profit through purpose. After a taste of life in close proximity - Ian travelling to the Netherlands for the Startupbootcamp Sustainability program - Team Aavalor is keen to unite physically on one continent in pursuit of further development.
To do this we need Technology Partners, Funding Partners, and Market Validation.
Our technology will improve industrial capacities for Desalination.
Our technology will improve efficiencies in the production of Hydrogen Energy.
Our technology will provide clean water access to rural parts of the developing world.
Our vision is to replace much of the outdated, costly, unsustainable, and inefficient water filtration technology that is being used on the market today, across all different sectors. Our technology is applicable to all sectors that require clean water: agriculture, pharmaceuticals, textiles, etc.
Furthermore, we aim to develop new systems that provide access to clean drinking and sanitation water, for those who currently lack it (UNSDG #6). Our current prototype is proof that our technology does not require electricity to operate.
