Our Technology

At ZPore, LLC, we're pushing boundaries with our revolutionary 3D gyroid‑based separation systems—platforms that deliver dramatic improvements in efficiency, compactness, and scalability. By drawing inspiration from nature, engineering precision, and advanced manufacturing, we’re reshaping how industries approach critical global challenges.

Technology Overview
Direct Air Capture (DAC)

Our 3D-Gyroid Membrane Contactor (3D‑GMC) reimagines CO₂ separation. With a lung‑inspired architecture, it achieves a staggering 7,000 m²/m³ packing density, boosting CO₂ flux by 3× in flue gas scenarios and 10× in DAC, compared to conventional systems like wet scrubbers or hollow fiber membrane contactors. Remarkably, only 8 m³ of 3D‑GMC can capture 1 ton of CO₂—versus the 83 m³ required by traditional air–liquid contactors—drastically reducing footprint and energy demand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hemodialysis

Adapting our gyroid technology for healthcare, we are developing biomimetic 3D membranes tailored for portable and implantable hemodialysis devices. These designs replicate the kidney’s filtration network—offering higher surface area and superior flow dynamics—to enable rapid, energy-efficient toxin removal. This opens up transformative opportunities for wearable or implantable renal support, empowering patients with enhanced mobility and quality of life.

Element Recovery (Critical Materials)

In response to global supply challenges and resource sustainability, we’re integrating Lanmodulin-functionalized gyroid columns (3D-GC-LanM). These systems promise high‐efficiency extraction of rare earth elements (REEs) from industrial byproducts and waste streams. The synergy of a high-surface-area gyroid matrix with selective binding proteins supports renewable sourcing, circular economy goals, and reduced mining dependence—especially for elements vital to clean energy and advanced technologies.
