How far behind are these people?. Fingers in 100 pies but none making to the oven,
On a side note..The PAWDs was delivered to Newport News ..the conttactor not the Navy despite the pumpers ...In 2011 ...yes 11 years ago...
MONTREAL, Sept. 12, 2011 /CNW/ - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. ("PyroGenesis" or the "Company") (TSX-V: PYR), an environmental solutions company that designs, develops and manufactures plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, announced today that it has successfully completed the design, construction and testing of one of its Plasma Arc Waste Destruction Systems (PAWDS) for a United States Navy aircraft carrier. The design, construction and testing were done on behalf of Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE: HII). The successful conclusion of this testing is a prerequisite to the PAWDS system being disassembled, packaged and ultimately shipped for installation on board the Navy's CVN 78 aircraft carrier. This is the first ship of the Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carriers. The factory acceptance testing is a significant milestone in PyroGenesis' ongoing commercial relationship with the Navy. In 2008, the Navy contracted Northrop Grumman Newport News, now Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS), to procure a PAWDS unit from PyroGenesis for its next-generation aircraft carrier. Today's announcement is a culmination of a thorough evaluation by NNS that occurred at PyroGenesis' 6,000-square-meter manufacturing and testing facility in Montreal. "We continue to execute on our commercial milestones, and are looking forward to the installation of our plasma-based waste management system on this new aircraft carrier," said P. Peter Pascali, President and Chief Executive Officer of PyroGenesis. "The Navy evaluated many waste management technologies over the past 10 years and decided that our PAWDS unit was the best solution to meet their needs. We are excited that this relationship is progressing and intend to leverage our success with the Navy to expand our commercial pipeline in both the marine and land-based markets." PyroGenesis' Chief Operating Officer, Gillian Holcroft commented, "The U.S. Navy is highly selective when it evaluates technology for its multi-billion dollar, nuclear aircraft carrier. The technology that the Navy chooses has to meet the most stringent design and performance specifications in the world. PyroGenesis is proud to have earned the confidence of the U.S. Navy to deliver such an important system for its state-of- the-art carrier." The PAWDS system is designed for the safe and efficient destruction of shipboard waste. The patented, compact technology is five times smaller than a conventional marine incinerator, and does not use fossil fuels. Instead, the system uses air and electricity to generate a plasma plume, with a temperature of approximately 5,000 degrees Celsius that can rapidly and efficiently gasify five tons per day of combustible waste. PAWDS can safely and efficiently treat waste such as paper, cardboard, plastics, textiles, wood, food and sludge oil, and can be started up or shut down in just a few minutes.

"As previously announced, the first two ships in this class, the CVN-78 USS Gerald R. Ford and the CVN-79 USS John F. Kennedy have been ordered and delivered to the contracted shipyard by PyroGenesis. A third order is not expected before 2018, however the CVN-78 USS Gerald R. Ford is scheduled to be commissioned in June 2016, following which PyroGenesis should start to supply consumables and spare parts, estimated at hundreds of thousands of dollars per System per year.
