Modularised Scalable Aerogel Manufacture (MoSAM)

蜻蜓绝缘有限公司（DF）是一家总部位于英国的先进材料制造公司，专门从事气凝胶技术。该项目建立在成功的IUK ICURe项目的基础上，该项目将DF的二氧化硅气凝胶制造工艺从实验室转移到小规模生产。二氧化硅气凝胶是一种非常轻，热效率高的隔热材料，在高温下稳定。它以前被美国国家航空航天局和太空项目使用，是一种未来的隔热材料，有可能对我们的家庭、工业和NetZero的实现的热效率产生重大影响。该项目将以DF的专利工艺为基础，开发一种可扩展的、资源高效的、模块化的制造工艺，通过可添加、移除或修改的可互换模块系统，在不中断工艺的情况下，有效地扩大二氧化硅气凝胶的生产规模，以满足生产和产品应用需求。结合能源交换系统来捕获和重新利用废弃能源，将降低能源消耗和制造成本，在我们努力实现零净值的同时，解决可持续制造的需求。拟议的项目与“创新英国”行动计划保持一致，并有可能对NetZero更广泛主题的未来经济领域产生重大影响。

Dragonfly Insulation Ltd (DF) is a UK-based advanced material manufacturing company that specialises in aerogel technologies. This project builds on the successful IUK ICURe project which has taken DF's silica aerogel manufacturing process from laboratory to small scale production.Silica aerogel is an extremely light, highly thermally efficient insulation material that is stable at high temperatures. Previously used by NASA and space programmes, it is an insulation material of the future with the potential to significantly impact on the thermal efficiency of our homes, of industry and the achievement of NetZero.The project will build on DF's patented processes to develop a scaleable, resource efficient, modularised manufacturing process to efficiently scale production of silica aerogels, up or down, without disrupting the process, through a system of interchangeable modules that can be added to, removed, or modified to meet production and product application needs. Incorporating energy exchange systems to capture and repurpose waste energy will reduce energy consumption and manufacturing costs, addressing the need for sustainable manufacturing as we strive towards NetZero.The proposed project aligns with the Innovate UK plan for action and has the potential to have a significant impact on the future economy areas of the broader theme of NetZero.
