HPQ successfully produces material in Fumed Silica Reactor pilot plant, validating process model
From GlobeNewswire: 2025-02-27 07:30:00
HPQ Silicon Inc. provides an update on the ongoing pilot-scale testing of its Fumed Silica Reactor (FSR) process. PyroGenesis Inc. confirms successful production of material during the first batch test, with characteristics consistent with lab-scale production. Independent analysis will validate product quality and inform process optimizations for future trials.
The FSR pilot plant, a 20-fold scale-up from the lab system, aims to reproduce lab-scale conditions and assess process performance. The first successful batch test validates the theoretical process model, providing real-time data on system performance and material conversion efficiency. Subsequent tests will focus on achieving consistent production of high-surface-area fumed silica.
HPQ and PyroGenesis aim to transition to semi-continuous production, increasing throughput and producing commercial-grade fumed silica. This phase will allow for expanded validation efforts, supply chain engagement, and pre-commercial market trials. The goal is to de-risk full-scale industrial deployment and advance the technology towards commercialization.
PyroGenesis emphasizes the shift towards sustainable fumed silica production with the Fumed Silica Reactor. By decarbonizing the industry, the process maintains superior product quality while reducing carbon emissions. This innovation sets a new standard for environmentally friendly and commercially viable fumed silica production.
HPQ Silicon Inc., a technology company specializing in green engineering, is developing new processes with partners to make critical materials for reaching net zero emissions. Their activities focus on producing fumed silica, silicon-based anode materials for batteries, autonomous hydrogen production, aluminum dross transformation, and high purity silicon using proprietary technologies.
