The primary benefit of our process is that it finally delivers the industrial scale, cost-effective MOFs that real-world applications demand.

Our scalable continuous flow process is different from traditional batch ones in that it can generate identical MOF products at a variety of production scales, with little variation in particle size or morphology.

The relatively small reactor volume, even at large production scale, allows access to high temperature and pressure reaction conditions without the high costs normally associated with heating a large batch pressure vessel. This allows us to offer a range of MOFs, which have traditionally not been available at industrially relevant scales.

The MOFs produced using Promethean’s technology are initially generated as dispersions in a carrier solvent (predominantly water), which allows for easier post-processing and avoids the agglomeration often seen when dry powder-based methods are used.
