Positive notice in advance – Granted European patent
Svenska Aerogel has received an advance notice of a granted patent regarding a method for gas filtration. The patent will be published in a bulletin from the European Patent Office around January 25, 2017.
The patent covers a process for manufacturing Svenska Aerogels material Quartzene® that can be used to manufacture filter media to trap gaseous air pollutants by impregnation with various types of capture chemicals. The granted patent provides protection for the manufacturing of the impregnated material. The Quartzene® filter media is characterized by a capture capacity 2-4 times larger than competitive filter media. Furthermore Quartzene® is not flammable unlike filter media based on active carbon. Through the process flexibility the filter media can be tailored to dispose various types of gaseous air pollutants, such as sulfur compounds, nitrogen oxides, formaldehyde, etc. This possibility is generally lacking in competitive filter media.
