Dessal is the exclusive official distributor of Purafy
Compartir
Purafy is the manufacturer of the Portage-DS portable water purification system, which converts any water source into safe drinking water.
Portage-DS utilizes a unique, patented system with an Advanced Ultrafiltration Membrane (AUF) enhanced with graphene, producing cleaner drinking water in greater volumes and at higher flow rates than any other existing technology. This filtration technology removes 99.999999% of viruses and bacteria.
Dessal will distribute Portage-DS in Spain and Portugal, including the islands.
And what is graphene? It's an extremely thin and very strong sheet of carbon, only one atom thick, where the atoms are arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Characteristics of graphene:
- Extremely small pores: they can block bacteria and viruses while allowing water molecules to pass through.
- Large surface area: captures contaminants very effectively.
- Antimicrobial properties: can damage or inactivate some microorganisms.
- High resistance: allows the manufacture of very thin but durable membranes, with a high water flow rate.

Is graphene the same thing that makes up pencils? Almost, but not exactly. Pencils use graphite (also carbon), which is made up of many stacked layers of graphene. When we write, small layers flake off, which are actually layers of graphene.
