In a world where silicon, the second most abundant element, takes center stage in manufacturing, HPQ Silicon Inc. (TSX-V: HPQ) emerges as the groundbreaking force reshaping the landscape. Silicon Metal, vital for various applications, holds a dark secret—it’s the largest emitter of CO2 per ton globally. HPQ Silicon, however, is on a mission to revolutionize this narrative, and it’s doing so with its disruptive technology that’s about to transform the Fumed Silica industry.
Key Highlights: Shaking Up Fumed Silica Manufacturing
- Energy Consumption: A staggering 93% lower
- Greenhouse Gasses: Slashed by 84-88%
- Hydrogen Chloride Gas: Fully Eliminated
Giants Take Notice: Multiple NDAs Confirm Industry Impact
The buzz around HPQ Silicon isn’t mere speculation; it’s backed by concrete actions. Leading manufacturers in the Fumed Silica sector are taking notice, signing multiple Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) immediately after HPQ’s successful production of Fumed Silica samples. It’s a testament to the industry’s acknowledgment of HPQ’s disruptive technology.
Fumed Silica isn’t just a micro-powder; it’s a transformative substance with the potential to reshape various sectors, including cosmetics, toothpaste, powdered foods, personal care, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, adhesives, construction, and batteries. The market is significant, with Fumed Silica sales reaching $1.3 billion in 2022, comprising 16% of the $7.8 billion Specialty Silica Market. Projections indicate growth to $13.4 billion by 2030.
Scaling Up: A Bold Leap Towards Commercialization
HPQ Silicon is no stranger to bold moves. The company is evaluating the feasibility of scaling up its Fumed Silica Reactor (FSR) from a 50 TPY pilot plant to an impressive 1,000 TPY commercial configuration. This leap aligns with industry benchmarks, confirming not only technical feasibility but also showcasing environmental advantages inherent in the FSR technology.
Economic Triumph: A Glimpse into HPQ’s Future
The internal economic study reveals a scenario that goes beyond imagination. HPQ’s Fumed Silica Reactor presents potential EBITDA margins three times higher than the industry average of 20%. What’s more, the capital investment is set to witness a jaw-dropping 93% reduction compared to traditional Fumed Silica plants.
“The shift of interest in our Fumed Silica offering, from the initial signing of our first NDA to explore the material commercial potential to a current keen focus on the commercial scalability potential of our proprietary Fumed Silica Reactor technology, marks another major step forward for HPQ Silica Polvere,” emphasizes Mr. Bernard Tourillon, President, and CEO of HPQ Silica Polvere Inc. and HPQ Silicon Inc.
- CAPEX (Cost per Kg of Capacity): Conventional: US$ 145.91; HPQ Polvere: US$ 9.50; Advantage: 93% less
- Energy Consumption (kWh / Kg of Fumed Silica): Conventional: 100 – 120; HPQ Polvere: 10 – 15; Advantage: 87.5 to 90% less
