Wyonano, LLC

Wyonano, LLC is a research-focused company specializing in the development of nano-porous, membrane-based filtration technology. The company utilizes Covalent Organic Framework (COF) materials to create molecular sieves that enable low-energy, cost-effective, and rapid separations in both gas and liquid phases. This core technology is primarily designed for advanced, closed-cycle refrigeration systems that use water and endothermic salts, but its high-performance properties offer broad potential across various industrial applications.

These membranes are significant for their ability to provide high flux and high rejection rates of ions at low pressures. The technology is applicable to fields including water desalination, blood dialysis, industrial liquid-liquid separations, and the capture of gases such as CO2 or oxygen. By advancing rational design processes for nanoporous materials, Wyonano aims to provide scalable solutions for complex separation challenges, supported by research funded through Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grants from the National Science Foundation.
