MOF Feasibility Services

Unleash the Potential of MOFs

Whether you’re working with a newly developed metal-organic framework (MOF) structure, have modelled a theoretical structure, or have an existing compound, our MOF Feasibility Services can help you assess its potential. Our team of research chemists and production engineers can evaluate your structure’s viability — from initial concept through laboratory synthesis to industrial-scale production. Our services are designed to bridge the critical gap between MOF discovery and industrial-scale manufacturing, providing you with a clear pathway from innovation to implementation.

Our Services

MOF Synthesis Evaluation

In this study, we analyse your MOF structure and determine whether it can be synthesised in the laboratory. Our team evaluates the probability of successful synthesis and develops a laboratory-scale synthetic process for your structure, providing you with a thorough understanding of your MOF’s viability.

MOF Scale-Up Feasibility

In this study, we evaluate the suitability of your MOF structure for synthesis in our continuous flow reactor system. Our team identifies the key parameters needed to transition from laboratory-scale synthesis to industrial-scale manufacturing, providing a clear pathway for advancing your MOF from research to production.

MOF Performance Study

In this study, we test your MOF structure across a range of application-specific rigs to evaluate its real-world performance potential. Our experts compare your material to our benchmark MOFs, identifying strengths and limitations, and providing you with insights into its capabilities, helping you to harness the potential of your MOF.

Our Capabilities

Our team of research chemists and process engineers brings deep expertise in assessing the synthesis potential of MOF structures, both in the laboratory and at an industrial scale.

With a strong track record of developing reliable, efficient and safe synthesis processes, they have successfully transitioned numerous MOFs from small-scale laboratory methods to scalable production using our advanced continuous flow reactor system.

This process enables faster, more consistent manufacturing than traditional batch methods, paving the way for cost-effective, industrial-scale MOF production.

What’s Included

Our feasibility studies assess whether a compound can be practically and safely synthesised, scaled up and applied as intended. These studies typically evaluate factors such as synthesis complexity, stability, safety, potential performance, environmental impact, raw material availability and manufacturing cost. A feasibility study helps determine whether a compound is both technically and economically viable.

Our feasibility services include:

Technical evaluation and consultation to advise on the large-scale synthesis probability of your candidate MOF structure.
Iterative laboratory-scale batch synthesis investigations to assess reproducibility at gram scale.
Synthesis of your MOF structure both in the laboratory and using our bench-scale reactor system.
Evaluation of feasibility for production using our advanced continuous flow reactor system.
Development of production and post-production treatment processes.
Techno-economic evaluation of the manufacturing cost of your MOF structure at scale.
Regulatory and environmental assessments.
Pilot-scale manufacturing trials.

Our Testing Capabilities

Our laboratory can test your structure and provide insights into both the structural characteristics and application performance of your MOF. Our testing capabilities range from structural analysis to real-world simulation rigs, including:

Powder X-ray diffraction (p-XRD)
Surface area measurement using N₂ adsorption (BET method)
Chemical analysis using FTIR spectroscopy
Isotherm measurements
Application testing – carbon capture
Application testing – gas storage
