Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel class of nanomaterials that are highly effective as a solid adsorbent and utilize their unique \u201ccage-like\u201d structure to trap molecules. Because of these properties, MOFs have been studied for numerous fluid storage, separation, and purification applications. The company, Framergy<\/a>, was the first group to focus solely on providing high-volume, high-quality, and low-cost MOFs with the goal of revolutionizing clean energy.<\/p>\n

The AYRSORB\u2122 line of MOFs from Framergy feature ultra-high surface area and permanent porosity to maximize molecule trapping. These features make it an ideal adsorbent for the modification and purification of natural gas streams. By purifying methane from a natural gas stream, less carbon is generated during the combustion process leading to a smaller emissions footprint.<\/p>\n

To evaluate the performance of their product for natural gas purification, Framergy had to set up a pilot test \u2013 with quite a few demanding process requirements.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”95%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”10px|10px|10px|10px|false|false” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|false|false” border_width_all=”1px” border_color_all=”#EAEAEA” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

\u201cAfter extensive research and promising results at the laboratory scale, we were confident that our MOFs technology was mature and ready for the next level. Thanks to Alicat Coriolis technology, we were able to conduct a pilot test at the challenging parameters of midstream natural gas operations.\u201d<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n
