Inspiring change through innovation. Now.
At Porelio, we are revolutionizing the development of chemical solutions. Our team is dedicated to setting a new standard in separation and purification processes using cutting-edge functionalized silica adsorbents.
From harmful chemicals in water and air to contaminants in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, our mission is to address critical pollution issues facing the world.
Our Mission
We strive to empower industries to overcome the challenges of achieving uncompromising purity and efficiency.
Our Vision
We are dedicated to delivering customizable, scalable, and highly efficient purification solutions.
Our Commitment
We are committed to solving the purification challenges faced by diverse industries.
Our core technology
Our patented technology allows for the first time the scalable production of Functionalized Ordered Mesoporous Silicas (FOMS), a revolutionary family of adsorbents with exceptional capacity for capturing and storing unwanted chemicals.
Think of our FOMS adsorbents as honeycomb-like sponges with active surface sites that effectively capture pollutants from water, industrial streams, or air.
Effectively targets specific impurities, including heavy metals, organic dyes, and carcinogenic pollutants.
Precision Adsorption
Enhanced Adsorption Efficiency
Maximizes adsorption capacity, ensuring optimal removal of contaminants from various chemical profiles.
Customizable design to meet specific chemical purification needs, optimizing performance across different industries.
Tailored Solutions
From lab-scale testing to full industrial production, our technology scales to meet your unique requirements.
Adaptable and Scalable
Scaling Up Production
At present, we are focusing on scaling up our production from pilot scale to full production scale, having successfully transitioned from lab scale to pilot scale. This next step will allow us to meet the growing demand for our FOMS solutions and ensure their availability for large-scale industrial applications. Our goal is to make high-quality, efficient, and sustainable chemical purification accessible to all sectors in need.
A paradigm shift in chemistry
What makes us different is our firm commitment to develop chemical solutions using the 12 principles of Green Chemistry. In contrast to other synthesis methods, we have achieved: reduction of energy consumption, less use of toxic chemicals, use of water as a solvent, recycling and using of chemicals.
