What we do

High-selectivity MOF-based absorbent material for treatment plants

We design and manufacture industrial filtration absorbents and cartridges based on MOF materials, produced with our own technology that cuts their cost and unlocks MOF applications in industry, as modular, easy-to-deploy systems.

Scientific expertise
Design, selection and adaptation of the MOF for each contaminant.
Production technology
Proprietary continuous manufacturing, with drastically lower production costs.
Industrial integration
Modular, swappable cartridges, ready to install in-plant.
Technology

What is a MOF?

Engineered molecular traps with high selectivity toward target molecules: heavy metals, hydrocarbons, radionuclides, sulfides and pharmaceuticals.

Ultra-selective
Heavy metals, PFAS, BTEX, radionuclides — 1g reaches the surface area of a football field: great absorbance surface.
Accessible MOFs
Manufacturing cost cut to USD 30/kg of MOF.
Durable systems
Multiple cycles of regeneration combined with great absorbance.
Circular use
Swap-and-reuse cartridges for in-situ circular operation.
