KARGEN | MOF-Based High-Efficiency Gas Separation Solutions

About the Solution
Gas separation is a key unit operation in chemical, energy, and electronic industries. Traditional separation technologies such as cryogenic distillation and absorption suffer from high energy consumption, complex equipment, and high operational costs. Based on the precise pore structure design and high selective adsorption performance of MOF materials, KARGEN has developed efficient gas separation solutions for light hydrocarbon separation, specialty gas purification, nitrogen-oxygen separation, and mixed gas separation. Our low-energy, high-purity, and easy-to-operate technologies drive green upgrades in the gas separation industry.
Core Separation Systems
-
Light Hydrocarbon Separation (Ethylene/Ethane, Propylene/Propane)
Light hydrocarbon molecules have similar kinetic sizes, making traditional separation energy-intensive. MOF materials with precisely adjusted pore structures and binding sites enable high-selective adsorption separation. The pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process operates at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, achieving one-step separation with energy consumption only a fraction of traditional cryogenic distillation. -
Specialty Gas Purification (H2, N2, Rare Gases)
High-purity specialty gases are critical for electronics and semiconductor industries. MOF materials selectively adsorb trace impurities such as CO2, moisture, and hydrocarbons, achieving deep purification. With large adsorption capacity, low impurity residue, and low regeneration energy consumption, MOFs provide a reliable solution for high-purity gas production. -
Nitrogen-Oxygen Separation (Air Separation)
Traditional cryogenic air separation is energy-intensive and unsuitable for small-scale or mobile applications. MOF materials with high N2/O2 selectivity enable rapid nitrogen or oxygen separation from air via PSA. Operating at room temperature with fast startup and compact equipment, the technology consumes only 30-50% of the energy of cryogenic separation. -
Mixed Gas Separation (Multi-Component Systems)
Applied in industrial waste gas treatment, natural gas purification, and biogas cleaning. Multifunctional MOF materials or composite membranes enable simultaneous separation and purification of multi-component gases, simplifying processes and reducing equipment investment and operational costs.
