- The Fumed Silica Reactor (FSR) technology project is being conducted in conjunction with HPQ Silica Polvere Inc. (“HPQ Polvere”), a wholly owned subsidiary of HPQ.
- With all major equipment now on site, the construction phase of the 50 tonnes per year (TPY) FSR pilot plant is accelerating.
- The FSR converts quartz into fumed silica (also known as pyrogenic silica) in a single and eco-friendly step while eliminating the use of harmful chemicals generated by conventional methods.
- Fumed silica sales accounted for almost 23% of the global specialty silica market at the end of 2021.
