We are proud to present the launch of the world's largest pilot plant for the production of biopolymer aerogels here at the Institute of Thermal Separation Processes. This plant was developed and constructed in close cooperation with the aerogel-it GmbH (CEO Marc Fricke, Project Leader Alberto Bueno). It is part of the cluster "Beitrag der Aerogele zur Energieeffizienz-Erhöhung in der Industrie" supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action.
