BLACKSBURG, Va. (WDBJ) - A local company is pioneering a way to harvest harmful contaminants from the air and turn them into recyclable material for profit. MOVA Technologies’ panel-bed filtration system is designed to help the environment and the economy. Last week, it passed its proof-of-concept testing, bringing it one step closer to market.
Located in the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center in Blacksburg, Dr. Joseph Meadows and a small team at the Advanced Propulsion and Power Laboratory have been testing a prototype of the filtration system for the last 11 months.
“What it does is it takes containment gases that we would potentially see in the stream of flu gas coming out of a power plant and it extracts those through a chemical process of absorbing the chemicals and solid adsorbents that go inside these louvers that go in the device,” Meadows said.
MOVA Technologies is a forward-thinking company dedicated to developing advanced air filtration solutions for agriculture and industry. Our technology improves air quality, enhances farm efficiency, and strengthens the resilience and security of U.S. food production. Our advanced gas capture and filtration technologies go beyond agriculture, addressing airborne contaminants across diverse industrial sectors.
