Fumed Silica reactor key pts built by Pyrogenesis for HPQ JV

Fumed Silica reactor key pts built by Pyrogenesis for HPQ JV 
Kudos to Pyrogenesis tech and engineering!!


Energy requirements  85-90% lower - as low as 15,000 kWh per tonne produced  vs convential high energy consumption (approximately 115,000 kWh per tonne produced) by competition.


CO2 friendly - but conventional manufacturing processes for fumed silica substantial CO2 emissions, intricate procedures, and  Moreover, they give rise to hazardous by-products like Hydrogen Chloride Gas (HCl

PYR and HPQ method enhances efficiency but also minimizes environmental impact and associated carbon taxes

More efficient and cost effective - conventional manufacturing processes for fumed silica depend on 2N purity Silicon Metal (Si) as feedstock whereas HPQ ability to directly transform CHEAP quartz into fumed silica. 

HPQ Polvere has the only technology capable of using raw quartz (SiO2as feedstock to produce commercial grade fumed silica—in one step.



Key points from press release: 

Preliminary tests and examination confirm that the produced material has the structural characteristics similar to commercially available fumed silica.

Third-party interests in our produced material have the potential to develop into partnership in our venture which could materialize in the form of offtake agreements, positioning them as prospective buyers of our material on commercial scale,” 

Furthermore, this evaluation phase could extend to encompass our innovative production process, piquing their interest in adopting our technology as well.”

Scalable production capability for fumed silica, ranging from 250 tonnes per year (TPY) to 2,500 TPY, we are well-aligned with both current and future market dynamics.
Currently, at 50 kg per year at lab scale, we aim to achieve 50 TPY within 12 months and subsequently exceed 250 TPY per reactor within the next 36 months.
