AlphaSelect by T.EN™ functionalized silicas
Technip Energies has a world-leading position in custom functionalized silicas, transforming complex separation challenges into competitive advantages. Through extensive R&D expertise and close client collaboration, we design functionalized silicas with precisely tailored adsorption and desorption properties that deliver measurable performance gains.
Our AlphaSelect by T.EN™ product portfolio enables breakthrough solutions across critical applications:
- Value recovery from waste streams – Extract valuable compounds that would otherwise be lost.
- Product purification – Achieve higher purity levels with improved efficiency.
- Carbon capture and utilization – Support sustainability goals with proven separation technology.
AlphaSelect by T.EN™ technologies bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and commercial-scale success, delivering solutions that are both technically advanced and operationally proven.
Technip Energies’ AlphaSelect by T.EN™ portfolio provides unique adsorption and desorption characteristics in extreme process environments where temperature, pH, and chemical complexity push standard materials beyond their limits.
The result is an unparalleled range of Advanced Ion Exchanged (AIX) materials, based on a silica platform, that enables mining operations, metal processors and waste treatment companies to significantly improve their sustainability footprints, increase value recovery and enhance product purity.
In addition to value recovery, AlphaSelect by T.EN™ AIX materials deliver dual benefits: capturing economic value that would otherwise be lost while significantly reducing waste discharge and environmental impact.
As the global economy accelerates toward decarbonization, demand for carbon capture from both point sources (power plants, industrial facilities) and direct air capture is set to surge over the next decade.
Working closely with technology developers and licensors pioneering next-generation carbon capture solutions, Technip Energies delivers AlphaSelect by T.EN™ functionalized silicas engineered with the precise material properties these breakthrough technologies require: optimized particle size, controlled porosity and pore structure, high purity, and spherical morphology, all critical parameters for efficient CO2 adsorption, minimal pressure drop, and long-term performance across repeated capture-regeneration cycles.
Our ability to custom-develop and manufacture these advanced materials at commercial scale positions Technip Energies as a leader in second-generation carbon capture technology, delivering solutions that can deploy at the speed and scale the climate challenge demands.
AlphaSelect by T.EN™ materials are capable of recovering specific homogenous catalysts from product streams post conversion. This process allows expensive catalysts to be economically recovered, recycled and reused numerous times rather than on a single pass. The result is a significantly improved process from both a technical and economic standpoint.
