A separation apparatus (700) and related method is provided in a cross-flow arrangement where a pressurized source directs a medium along a path substantially parallel to one or multiple sheets (722) of graphene from an inlet to an outlet. The medium (702) flows through the plural perforated apertures (721) in the graphene membrane while a remaining portion of the medium and the disallowed components in the medium flow out the outlet. A backing sheet or supporting membrane (724) may be disposed underneath the graphene membrane (722). The apparatus my be used for desalinaton.
