Where Our Materials Are Deployed
Both Vox and Framergy operate across gas and liquid phases, spanning upstream, midstream, downstream refining, and environmental applications.
Vox targets the trace-to-medium sulfur market (<2 long tons/day) where incumbents impose the highest cost-per-unit-treated.
| Metric | Vox | Triazine | Iron Sponge | Redox Systems |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Treatment Level | 0 ppm (non-detect) | 5–20 ppm residual | 5–15 ppm | 5–20 ppm |
| Consumables | None | Continuous chemical | Continuous iron media | Oxidant dosing |
| Waste Streams | Zero hazardous waste | Spent caustic / sludge | Iron sulfide waste | Salts / sludge |
| Cost per lb S | $1.40 (blended) | $8–12 | $3–9 | $2–6 |
| Media Life | 10–15 years | Single-use | Frequent changeout | Ongoing maintenance |
| CO₂ Absorption | Total CO₂ slip | Absorbs CO₂ | Minimal | Variable |
| Hazardous Disposal | Not required | Required | Required | Required |
Framergy's AYRSORB™ MOF platform is positioned around selective adsorption rather than bulk chemical reaction or energy-intensive thermal separation. The result is a family of materials that can be tuned, shaped, and deployed as drop-in media for specific stream conditions.
F250 targets natural gas conditioning, methane purification, NGL recovery, VOC capture, hydrogen purification support, and pipeline-specification polishing. Its value comes from high selectivity across light hydrocarbons and the ability to operate in PSA-style configurations without relying on large thermal separation trains.
Framergy materials support dehydration, latent-load reduction, air-side dehumidification, water harvesting, and coated membrane contactor development. Step-function adsorption behavior creates practical working capacity where conventional desiccants can be energy-intensive or capacity-limited.
T125 is aimed at industrial water treatment, PFAS/PFOS capture, sensing, and photocatalytic mineralization. The competitive angle is lifecycle control: capture plus on-site regeneration or destruction pathways can reduce dependence on landfill or incineration disposal models.
AYRSORB™ materials can be supplied as powders, shaped beads, extrudates, or coated membranes. That gives customers a practical route to test MOFs in existing vessels, contactors, filters, and skid designs instead of redesigning an entire facility around a single separation technology.
Framergy MOFs compete where activated carbon, zeolites, glycol dehydration, cryogenic separation, amines, membranes, or thermal distillation create too much energy use, footprint, waste handling, or selectivity tradeoff. MOFs provide molecularly tuned adsorption with lower-temperature regeneration potential.
Framergy's commercial model is built around material supply, application-specific development partnerships, and formulation licensing. That gives Strategic Materials recurring platform optionality while Vox scales through sulfur-treatment deployments.
