Summary
A report on a program to build up a pilot production plant for granular inorganic aerogels comprising amorphous silicon dioxide. The goal is to provide an advanced thermal insulation material which seems to meet tough future performance and regulatory needs. Large scale industrial processing of the material has proven possible. Growing interest for application of aerogels in the home appliances manufacturers industry (boilers, refrigerators, freezers, ovens, etc) may be expected, as excellent quality of aerogel fillings bring remarkable 20% improvement over conventional foamed insulation systems in terms of energy consumption. Additional optimization could be expected by application of vacuum techniques.
