In this interview, HPQ CEO Bernard Tourillon shares key insights following the company’s successful pilot-scale production of commercial-grade fumed silica.
✅ Test #6 reached 136 m²/g surface area—a performance benchmark validated by a global fumed silica manufacturer under LOI
✅ More than 3x improvement over prior tests
✅ Single-step process confirmed scalable, clean, and free of carbon impurities
✅ SEM analysis verified morphology consistent with commercial-grade products
This milestone confirms HPQ’s ability to reproduce lab results at scale and validates the technical foundation of its Fumed Silica Reactor (FSR) process.
By watching the interview, you’ll understand:
- Why the 136 m²/g result marks a turning point from R&D to pre-commercial positioning
- How HPQ plans to target the 200 m²/g+ high-demand market segment next
- The role of PyroGenesis and third-party validation in derisking the technology
- How this test fits into HPQ’s broader portfolio of clean tech and advanced materials commercialization
