Pioneering industrial-scale MOF production
Promethean Particles is a world leading specialist in the synthesis and production of metal-organic frameworks. Our proprietary and patented continuous-flow manufacturing process enables the industrial-scale production of high quality cost-effective MOFs.
Over the past decade, we have evolved into a global leader, delivering advanced MOF solutions for a diverse range of industrial applications. Our team of research chemists and process engineers bring deep expertise in assessing the synthesis potential of MOF structures, both in the laboratory and at an industrial scale.
Industrial Scale
- Largest continuous-flow MOF manufacturing plant in the world
- Industrial-scale manufacture of MOFs enables the development of new energy-efficient applications
High Quality
- Deep expertise in MOF synthesis yields high production volumes without compromising key performance characterisitics
- Patented production process delivers particle size and morphology control
Cost Effective
- Proprietary continuous-flow manufacturing process eliminates inefficiencies of traditional batch MOF manufacturing
- Significantly reduced cost of MOFs, making them an industrially viable solution for the first time
Leading applications for MOFs
For years, MOFs have not ventured beyond the laboratory due to a lack of manufacturing scale, inconsistent quality, and prohibitive costs. Promethean’s technology is unleashing the power of these incredible materials to have the impact where the world needs it – in energy-sensitive industrial applications such as carbon capture, biogas upgrading, atmospheric water harvesting, and gas storage and separation.
