Separation & Purification

Solutions
Separation & Purification

Our chemical separation technologies enable our partners to meet their carbon emission targets while reducing cost.

Chemical separations produce feedstocks that are employed across consumer, medical, and industrial markets powering the global economy.
Today, chemical separations consume over 10% of global power usage and in the United States alone account for 100 billion tons of carbon emissions. Numat’s precision chemistries can be deployed across a broad range of chemical separations reducing energy usage and mitigating carbon emissions.
Success Story
High Value Separation
In collaboration with an industrial partner, Numat successfully developed a Next-Nine™ advanced separations platform, delivering commercially deployed MOF-enabled solutions for high-value gas and liquid purification challenges, from computational discovery through scaled manufacturing to customer deployment.
Next-Nine ™ advances industries where purity and performance matter, including the microelectronics, life science, and defense sectors, by removing seemingly impossible-to-eliminate impurities.

Success Story
Membrane Separation
In collaboration with an industrial partner Numat is developing a membrane separation process to displace an industrially relevant distillation process.
A non-thermal separation process that can be run continuously, membranes offer dramatic energy savings when compared to traditional separation processes.
The membrane technology leverages Numat’s precision chemistry coupled with our partner’s membrane solution to effect the separation of the targeted molecules.

MOFs are the link to a net zero future
As industries are pressed to find solutions to reduce greenhouse gases, MOFs provide a powerful platform to capture hazardous chemicals such as ammonia, nitrogen dioxide, chlorine, organophosphates and more.
Applying SENTINEL™ technology to precisely capture and separate hazardous chemicals to hard-to-abate toxic and greenhouse gases enables us to solve sustainability challenges for those most in harm’s way. Utilizing this capability, we can develop a database of precision chemistry interactions with hazardous chemicals and greenhouse gases to build an industrial toolkit for process industries looking to reduce emissions.
