MOVA Technologies Opens Research and Development Facility

August 1, 2023 (Pulaski, VA.) - MOVA Technologies, Inc., is pleased to announce the opening of its Research and Development Facility in Pulaski that will allow for the enhanced design and production of its state-of-the-art air filtration technology which will result in industrial air quality solutions.

“The facility will accelerate the pace of introducing new panel bed filtration technology innovations, while simultaneously increasing the commercial success rate of new applications in a market worth tens of billions of dollars,” said Steve Critchfield, President and Founder of MOVA.

MOVA Technologies is a AgTech company specializing in advanced air-capture technology applying sustainable, circular principles to selectively capture and harvest pollutants as valuable byproducts that can be sold and reused. Selective air-capture technology has distinct cost advantages over legacy capture technologies, giving them broad market applicability with air purification applications across manufacturing, agriculture, and energy as well as chemical production.

“The town is excited to be home to MOVA’s facility and headquarters as they advance future climate smart innovations including their pioneering air purification technologies that will be critical over the long term,” said Darlene Burcham, Pulaski Town Manager.

MOVA is a private company that has raised nearly $1.8 million in private investment and received more than $650,000 in grant funding, including grants from the federal government, GO Virginia, and the Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation.

In June, MOVA completed the RAMP (Regional Accelerator and Mentoring Program) cohort, a 12-week program that provides startup technology companies with expert mentoring, free office space, access to venture capital, and membership in the Roanoke-Blacksburg Technology Council (RBTC).

“We are honored to have helped MOVA accelerate its vision and are thrilled for our region to see MOVA take this exciting step,” said Erin Burcham, RBTC executive director.

“This research facility is crucial to MOVA Technologies as it continues to develop its unique method of capturing particles and gasses (such as pollutants) using a fixed bed of solid sorbents,” said Ann Norris, PHD Materials Engineering Science at Virginia Tech.

MOVA is helping businesses meet these challenges. By rethinking commercially viable sustainability, MOVA is removing the high cost of pollutant capture and helping businesses meet consumer demands with advanced air emissions filtration technology that is dramatically more affordable to install and operate than competing technologies.
