PILOT PLANT ASSEMBLY ENTERING FINAL STAGE
The need to reinforce the concrete floor underneath the pilot plant combined with final design improvements done to the Gen3 PUREVAP™ pilot plant design changed our original timeline, but assembly work is now currently underway. Final assembly of the pilot plant at its permanent location in the PyroGenesis facility should be completed in Q3. The Gen3 PUREVAP™ pilot plant testing program, including plant commissioning, will start in Q4.
Mr. Bernard Tourillon, President and CEO of HPQ Silicon Resources Inc stated: “We are now very close to the start of the most exciting and potentially rewarding phase of the project: validating commercial scalability. Our pre-commercialization work leading up to this point has allowed us to identify additional segments beyond solar energy applications where the PUREVAPTM QRR process is game changing. The idea now is to use to produce material with our Gen2 for samples for various clients in multiple industries. We expect that we will be able to fulfill orders from production at the pilot plant and begin to generate revenue in the months following the start of the pilot plant.”
