AE Polysilicon，茂迪實業的子公司，宣布在其專有的商業規模的流化床反應器（快堆）的多晶硅在費爾利斯希爾斯，美國賓夕法尼亞，成功地研制出來。 快堆技術，據說有可能降低生產硅錠和硅片的成本。
    AE Polysilicon期待盡快通過FBR的相關實驗，并在接下來的幾個月內投入商業生產。在滿負載的情況下，工廠初期能保證每年250兆瓦的供電量。

AE Polysilicon, a subsidiary of Motech Industries, has announced the successful deposit of polysilicon in its proprietary commercial-scale fluidized bed reactors (FBR) at its Fairless Hills, PA, location. FBR technology is said to have the potential to decrease the cost of manufacturing silicon ingots and wafers.

“I am very proud of our entire team for reaching this milestone” said York Tsuo, president of AE Polysilicon. “For nearly five years we have been developing this innovative process, and this milestone validates our technology platform. Creating an innovative polysilicon production process requires not only extensive technical and operational expertise but dedication and commitment to a vision to
advance the solar industry with innovative polysilicon technology.”

AEP is looking to complete its FBR testing and begin commercial production over the next months. At full capacity, the initial facility will be able to produce around 250MW of installed solar energy per year. Full capacity is expected sometime in late 2011.
