Aspen Aerogels Unveils New
$30 Million Facility
On July 14, Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) and Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) helped Aspen Aerogels cut the ribbon on its new, $30 million, manufacturing facility in East Providence, Rhode Island.
"The facility is the centerpiece of our growth plans, which focus on helping our customers worldwide achieve their goals," said Don Young, Aspen Aerogels' president and CEO. More
Aspen Aerogels to Insulate 21-Kilometer Subsea Pipe-in-Pipe Line in Gulf of Mexico
Aspen Aerogels has been awarded a contract from Helix Energy Solutions Group to supply insulation for a 21-kilometer subsea pipe-in-pipe line in the Gulf of Mexico. The line will be located in the Anadarko Petroleum oil discovery on the Power Play deepwater prospect on Garden Banks Block 302.
Helix chose Aspen Aerogels' Spaceloft® insulation because it offers the lowest thermal conductivity while being much thinner than other pipe insulations. In a pipe-in-pipe line, this means the outer pipe can be smaller, saving substantially on steel weight and cost. Spaceloft comes in reinforced, flexible blanket form, which greatly simplifies installation. Helix will install the Spaceloft at its spool-base in Port Arthur, Texas, beginning in 2008. More

"Aspen’s proprietary aerogel technologies and manufacturing processes have the potential to redefine large portions of the $30 billion global insulation market," said Ramsay Battin, Director of Arcapita Ventures. "We believe the macro environment for this type of advanced insulation material is extremely favorable, and the past twelve months have marked a period of increasing momentum for the company with new and existing customers across a variety of industries."
