molecular scale.

M3I Labs builds modular, advanced trace-gas capture systems that pull CO₂ from ambient air, flue gases, and from semiconductor fab flue gas — engineered with proprietary electrified structured sorbents tuned per site, per stream, per molecule.

How it works — two streams, one platform.

Process · M3I-PR-007

Direct Air Capture

Ambient air is drawn through stacked sorbent cassettes at low pressure drop. The sorbent binds CO₂ selectively against N₂ and O₂; regeneration is driven by Joule heating, no high-grade steam required.

A.01

Step 01

Draw

Axial fans pull air across cassette face at > 1.0 m/s.

A.02

Step 02

Bind

CO₂ chemisorbs onto active sites.

A.03

Step 03

Regen

Integrated Joule heating releases pure CO₂ stream.

A.04

Step 04

Pipe

Compressed to for storage or off-take.

Fab Flue Gas Treatment

Semiconductor fabs emit concentrated CO₂ and PFCs from CVD/etch processes. M3I drops in the same sorbent platform, retuned for high-concentration, high-throughput capture.

B.01

Step 01

Tap

Side-stream tap at scrubber inlet, 60 °C.

B.02

Step 02

Quench

Cool to 35 °C, drop particulates.

B.03

Step 03

Capture

10× cassette stack absorbs at 12% pCO₂.

B.04

Step 04

Return

Treated stream re-enters stack, <120 ppm.
