Problem
Industrial processes and frontline operations often rely on bulky, inefficient filtration and separation systems that cannot fully capture or neutralize toxic chemicals, nerve agents, and hazardous pollutants, posing risks to human health and the environment.
Solution
Numat develops and scales metal‑organic frameworks (MOFs) that provide high‑capacity capture, decontamination, and destruction of hazardous chemicals in a single material. Their proprietary MOF platforms are engineered for integration into personal protective equipment and industrial filtration units, delivering rapid adsorption and catalytic breakdown of toxins. By leveraging a modular commercialization pipeline, Numat enables the deployment of these advanced materials across defense, chemical manufacturing, and clean‑energy supply chains, facilitating more sustainable production of essential chemicals while reducing environmental impact.
Target Audience
Primary customers include defense and security agencies requiring chemical‑protective gear, chemical manufacturers seeking efficient separation and purification solutions, and clean‑energy companies needing sustainable material production processes.
Features
- Scalable synthesis of high‑surface‑area MOFs tailored for selective adsorption of toxic industrial chemicals and nerve agents
- Integrated filtration media (e.g., SENTINEL®) that combines capture and catalytic decontamination in a single layer
- Reusable and regenerable material design to extend service life and lower operational costs
- Customizable pore chemistry allowing targeted separation and purification of precursors for advanced energy technologies
- Platform approach that supports rapid translation from laboratory to commercial-scale production
