近日，常州優(yōu)納新材料科技有限公司憑借在提高能源效率領域的重大創(chuàng)新成就 ——“Elevating Energy Efficiency Quantum Leap”，被美國權威雜志《制造技術洞察》評選為 “2024 年度亞太地區(qū)先進材料解決方案提供商”。

《Manufacturing Technology Insights》雜志作為全球制造業(yè)技術領域的權威刊物，每年都會評選出在材料科學、制造工藝等方面有杰出貢獻的企業(yè)或個人。2021年全球玻璃纖維制造商中國企業(yè)巨石集團和日本著名的跨國公司Tosoh Corporation也曾入選這一獎項。常州優(yōu)納（下文簡稱優(yōu)納）獲得這一殊榮，彰顯了其在行業(yè)內的領先地位，進一步鞏固了在亞太區(qū)域乃至全球的影響力。

優(yōu)納此次獲獎，得益于在開發(fā)和工業(yè)化生產介孔絕熱材料方面的成就。雜志原文評價“In the quest to curb global energy consumption and its consequential carbon emissions, mesoporous materials have been pivotal. These cutting-edge materials,engineered with finely tuned pore structures, represent a quantum leap in energy efficiency technology. At the forefront of this transformative technology is UniNano Advanced Materials,an enterprise specializing in industrializing mesoporous thermal insulation materials. Harnessing their unique properties, UniNano is setting new standards in sustainable practices with significant improvements in heat retention and energy savings.（在遏制全球能源消耗以及隨之而來的碳排放的過程中，介孔材料一直發(fā)揮著關鍵作用，這些具有精細調整的孔結構設計的前沿材料，代表著能源效率技術的巨大飛躍。處于這項變革性技術前沿的是UniNano Advanced Materials，這是一家專門從事介孔絕熱材料工業(yè)化的企業(yè)。利用介孔絕熱材料獨特的特性，優(yōu)納正在為可持續(xù)實踐設定新標準，顯著提高保溫和節(jié)能效果）”。

優(yōu)納專注于將介孔材料的獨特性能應用于熱絕緣領域，通過優(yōu)化孔隙結構與多種纖維的結合，顯著提高絕熱性能。相比傳統(tǒng)纖維基材料如巖棉、硅酸鋁和玻璃棉等，在投資基本持平的情況下，實現了降低30%以上的散熱損失。優(yōu)納成功開發(fā)了可擴展的制備方法和環(huán)保的生產工藝，展現了優(yōu)異的安全性和環(huán)境友好性，確保介孔材料在熱絕緣領域的大規(guī)模應用成為可能。同時，介孔絕熱材料還具備優(yōu)異的阻燃性和高疏水性，并且通過了長達40年的老化測試，具有優(yōu)異的耐用性。在成本效益方面，雜志方面評價道“Compared to advanced materials like nano-aerogels, its mesoporous materials provide similar energy-saving benefits at a lower cost（與納米氣凝膠等先進材料相比，介孔絕熱材料以更低的成本提供了類似的節(jié)能效果）”。

優(yōu)納的介孔絕熱材料系列產品，已在多個領域獲得了廣泛應用，包括高溫管道、工業(yè)設備和各類設施。其極低的導熱系數、優(yōu)異的耐火和憎水性能，使其在熱電、化工、鋼鐵制造等多個行業(yè)展現出巨大優(yōu)勢，成功實施了超過500個項目。其中，優(yōu)納為河南能源集團提供的蒸汽管道隔熱系統(tǒng)改造方案作為經典案例受到《制造技術洞察》雜志的關注，并在報道中對案例進行了詳細描述。該項目針對長達660米、直徑DN350的蒸汽管道進行了節(jié)能改造，通過引入優(yōu)納的先進介孔絕熱材料，成功將隔熱層厚度從250mm縮減至200mm，同時大幅降低了熱損失和表面溫度，實現了顯著的節(jié)能效果。項目完成后，河南能源集團每年可節(jié)約蒸汽79,200噸，有效減少了能源消耗和二氧化碳排放。

近年來，優(yōu)納在江蘇常州和江西上饒都建立了制造工廠，還先后獲“專精特新小巨人”、“高新技術企業(yè)”以及“能源科學進步一等獎”等諸多榮譽。分別被國家工信部列入《國家工業(yè)和信息化領域節(jié)能降碳技術裝備推薦目錄(2024)》、《國家工業(yè)節(jié)能技術裝備推薦目錄（2020）》、被國家發(fā)改委國家節(jié)能中心列入重點節(jié)能技術應用典型案例、被國家清潔供熱產業(yè)列入綠色低碳重大創(chuàng)新技術，并作為 14 個節(jié)能經典案例之一，入選《國家工業(yè)節(jié)能技術應用指南》。同時優(yōu)納還是中國碳中和行動聯盟成員。

自優(yōu)納新材誕生之初，欒玉成教授便立足于科學創(chuàng)新的原點，將“以科技振興國家，以實業(yè)服務祖國”作為自己的使命，始終堅持不渝。經過多年的發(fā)展，常州優(yōu)納新材不僅構建了穩(wěn)固的經營管理基石，還贏得了業(yè)界的廣泛贊譽。在全球可持續(xù)發(fā)展的驅動下，優(yōu)納將繼續(xù)發(fā)展新質生產力，并為可持續(xù)的未來做出積極貢獻。

In the quest to curb global energy consumption and its consequential carbon emissions,mesoporous materials have been pivotal. These cutting-edge materials, engineered with finely tuned pore structures, represent a quantum leap in energy efficiency technology.

At the forefront of this transformative technology is UniNano Advanced Materials, an enterprise specializing in industrializing mesoporous thermal insulation materials. Harnessing their unique properties, UniNano is setting new standards in sustainable practices with significant improvements in heat retention and energy savings.The company developed and industrialized diverse mesoporous materials with optimized pore structures, combining them with different fibers for enhanced thermal insulation. It achieves more than a 30 percent reduction in heat loss, surpassing traditional fiber-based materials like rock wool, aluminum silicate, and glass wool, which often suffer from inadequate thermal performance, energy efficiency and durability.

UniNano prioritizes cost-effectiveness. Compared to advanced materials like nano-aerogels, its mesoporous materials provide similar energy-saving benefits at a lower cost. It furthered its impact by developing scalable preparation methods, cost-effective production techniques, and environmentally friendly processes to enable large-scale application of mesoporous materials in thermal insulation. Produced using a green, water-based synthesis approach, these flame-retardant materials with low combustion calorific value and high hydrophobicity ensure environmental friendliness and safety across diverse applications. Tested through rigorous, 40-year aging experiments, UniNano’s mesoporous composite insulation materials boast exceptional durability and use about 50 percent less space compared to conventional options.

Delivering outstanding insulation, fire resistance, and waterproofing, its flagship mesoporous insulation series enhances energy efficiency with reduced material usage and extended service life. Engineered for temperatures exceeding 150 °C, these materials find wide application in pipelines, industrial equipment and various facilities, demonstrating success in thermal power, chemical production, steel manufacturing, and other industries with over 500 implementations.

Over the years, UniNano has scripted many success stories, but the transformation at Henan Energy stands out. Faced with an outdated steam pipe insulation system covering 660 meters of piping with a DN 350 diameter and an 11.5-meter-high corridor, Henan Energy initially used 250mm aluminum silicate insulation. This setup resulted in high heat loss (406.9 W/m), a surface temperature of 47.8°C, and a temperature drop of 9.5 to 17°C.

UniNano’s retrofit solution introduced its advanced mesoporous composite material, reducing the insulation thickness to 200mm. This upgrade significantly improved performance: heat loss dropped to 251.7 W/m, surface temperature fell to 39.6°C, and temperature drop was reduced to 5°C.

Dedicated to advancing new materials and refining production processes, the company aims to enhance efficiency, equipment utilization, and overall capacity. It actively engages in industry collaborations and technical exchanges, sharing and absorbing cutting-edge technologies and market insights to foster ongoing innovation.

Through rigorous market research and customer analysis, UniNano develops customized solutions that meet specific industry demands, ensuring its products align closely with customer requirements while promoting sustainability and operational efficiency.

Driven by a commitment to global sustainability, UniNano prioritizes R&D to ensure its industrialization processes are environmentally responsible and contribute to a sustainable future.
