RE:RE:RE:PyroGenesis LinkedIn PostConstellium is a big company and very impressive what they do. Note that Constellium sent PYR a furnace to test/use for this study. For them to have taken such a decision shows they are convinced of the benefits of using plasma torches in these furnaces.
https://www.constellium.com/ We are Constellium: Constellium is a global leader in the development, manufacturing, and recycling of aluminium products and solutions. We design and manufacture advanced alloys and engineered solutions for a range of applications, such as beverage cans, cars, airplanes, and more. Our story dates back more than a century, but our mission remains the same: to create game-changing aluminium solutions for a circular and sustainable economy and a brilliant new day.

I am thrilled to share with you all our latest article at PyroGenesis Canada Inc. / PyroGense Canada inc. It details empirical results demonstrating the remarkable potential of replacing fossil fuel burners with electrical plasma torches, showcasing equivalent and potentially better performances!
Our tests not only demonstrate the efficacy of this innovative approach but also confirmed the accuracy of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model we've developed.
Among growing concerns about climate change, replacing fossil fuel burners with electrical plasma torches can significantly reduce carbon emissions and offer an innovative solution for mitigating our environmental footprint in industry.
The full article is published in the TMS 2024 conference proceedings and is entitled: Decarbonization of Aluminum Reverberatory Furnaces: The Case of Plasma Melting.
Very impressive the results from PYR's study/paper on the use of plasma torches for Decarbonization of Aluminum Reverberatory Furnaces: The Case of Plasma Melting:
