Pyrogenesis Canada Inc T.PYR

How serious is this competition ?

[Tcheck]

TEKNA induced plasma systems 

THE WORLD LEADER IN INDUCTION PLASMA TECHNOLOGY
 

on hpq forum renaissance mentions collaboration of hydroquebec with this company
to produce spherical nanosilicium to be used in lithium batteries to enhance their performance .

any one awre of this rival?

[Pitpitcolisse]

Old plasma induced silicon deposition technogy from the 80s... Not competition at all... They are the horses hoarders of nanosillicon, we just jumped to supercars with purevap..

[TrueCanuck1]

Yes.

[Atomic1]

This has been adressed numerous times, and every long should know that the game changing advantage of Purevap is the possibility to turn quartz into 4N silicon in one step. As good as Tekna powders can be, they have to buy their supplies of Silicon from expensive sources, which makes their nanopowders to expensives for mass production. However, if you want small batches to do research like at

Tekna: - some other company mines the quartz / sand - some other company produces raw silicon - Tekna buys raw high grade silicon at a premium - Tekna makes silicon powders HPQ/PYR: - makes the highest grade silicon powders directly from the quartz they own using PYR's super-powered plasma magic, in one step (no mining, no waiting, no other company making the raw silicon from quartz, no

At least they (HQ) are aware that it will take silicon anodes to develop next generation lithium batteries. they are trying to catch up. your point is well.taken. they have heard the bell ring but do not know where the clapper is Furthermore  Tekna is subsidiary of  Arendals Fossekompani  a 5 bn nok turnover company from norway.around 500 cad$.. they won t nok us over.
