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.

Key Points: 
  • 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.

As stated in PyroGenesis’ news release dated November 9, 2023 , the production of the fumed silica reactor pilot plant is already underway, with a planned completion by Q2 2024.

Key Points: 
  • As stated in PyroGenesis’ news release dated November 9, 2023 , the production of the fumed silica reactor pilot plant is already underway, with a planned completion by Q2 2024.
  • The FSR, another plasma-based process developed by PyroGenesis, converts quartz into commercial-grade fumed silica (or Pyrogenic Silica) in a single and eco-friendly step.
  • PyroGenesis’ involvement in developing fumed silica from quartz is part of PyroGenesis’ three-tiered solution ecosystem that aligns with economic drivers that are key to global heavy industry.
  • Management has calculated the Payback for the Fumed Silica Reactor (FSR) based on operational data accumulated over the years.
