QuantumSphere Completes State-of-the-Art Nanocatalyst Production Facility
QuantumSphere, Inc. (QSI), a supplier of nanocatalyst technologies for industrial chemical processes, announced the completion of its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for the production of the company’s proprietary FeNIXTM nano iron catalyst product. FeNIX nanocatalysts were developed to address costly production inefficiencies within the several hundred ammonia plants in operation worldwide.
Matthew Griffith, Vice President of Operations, stated, “We are excited to report that we have successfully scaled and tested all aspects of our multi-step FeNIX manufacturing process, including a patented, automated gas-phase-condensation (GPC) process to tightly control nano-particle size and distribution, and a secondary passivation process allowing the highly active material to be safely handled and transported. In addition, we have completed our proprietary physisorption coating equipment which is used to adhere the FeNIX nanocatalysts onto base commercial pre-reduced ammonia catalysts on-site at an ammonia production facility.”
