RE:If I was Client A... I agree, this is proven tech we are talking about here by the worlds leading experts in Plasma. Just being on the Navy ships is huge credibility factor. It gives off the heat required and I am sure iron ore company's have access to top meterllurgists to determine if they will damage the furnace. That's what makes these torches so versatile, if it was found that they did actually cause damage in the modeling then they can switch to another of the many gases they can use. That being said they knew what gases to use, the modeling was just to prove it. The modeling was the "dipping the foot in" in my opinion. Client C knows enough about pyr and plasma to want to move right ahead.

I just don't buy the arguments attempted by "amillionorbust" that Client A, B or C...or others...will take the typical 'kick the tires' with a few installs first before spreading out the remaining torch installs over years. We don't have long to wait for A,B&C, so let's see where the cards fall...
