RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:New Pellet PlantTypo....meant to say Westinghouse Plasma failed miserably who is the same person & founder Shyam running it after buying form Westinhouse Electric. At his helm it goes bankrupt but yet he buys it pennies on the dollar thru his holding company.
Pattern of failures and then buying it thereafter!?
Management – AquaSource Technologies Not sure if I would invest $1000 in Shyam
AquaSource Technologies - YouTube Anyways LONG AND STRONG PYR!!!!!
developbc wrote: Yes I followed that. AquaSource is not even close to Pyrogenesis.
Just bc Shyam bought Westinghouse Plasma on pennies on the dollar doesn't mean they are anywhere close to PYR. I have seen zero advancements wih AquaSoure in last 9 months whereas PYR is growing in leaps in bounds in their plama torch division plus PYR has at least 4 distinct divisions that can morph into massive industry disruptive entities each on it's own.
There is a reason AquaSource failed miserably.
Plus the CEO is running a company a fraction of the size of PYR's torch division.
My firm bet is PYR will torch the any competition as they have impressive numerous multi billion dollar entities they have and are dealing with.

They now offer parts and service for the installed base of Westinghouse plasma torches.
Westinghouse Plasma corp has an interesting 30 year history.
Westinghouse Plasma Corporation (WPC) might be a new tenant in Technology Park I, but the company’s plasma torches are a result of over 30 years of development. In the 1980’s WPC’s technology was initially developed in collaboration with NASA to simulate space vehicle re-entry conditions. Today, Westinghouse Plasma Corporation, a subsidiary of Harvest International New Energy Co., uses plasma torch technology for a variety of applications, including the gasification of municipal and hazardous waste. In countries where there are large populations, creating tons of waste daily, and little space for landfills, this technology offers a unique solution to their waste problem. There are many Plasma Torch companies not saying who is better than who.
Only the number of installed torches working can tell than.
developbc wrote: Enough of your false narrative. Westinghouse Plasma is totally out of business and went thru bankruptcy proceedings Sept 2020. All their assets were bought via bankruptcy court the Co founder,Shyam Dighe, via a new entity Dighe Technologies who co-founded Westinghouse Plasma back in 1999.

Long and strong PYROGENESIS!

Small scale Hydrogen will be used first for vehicles and other small appicaltions first..
Hydrogen will be imporant as the earh is too small for the current population.
Westinghouse Plasma Corporation says "I'll be back."

"Hydrogen-based steelmaking would create double- or triple-digit cost increases per ton of steel produced, according to a study that researchers at Columbia University published March 9. While this cost would be far lower than the negative hit companies could take under a government mandate such as a carbon price, such a cost is currently unavoidable."

They are even used in a few steel plants..
The Decsion to use Natural Gas is more likely that the electricy there is producced from Coal and natural gas. So there would be a loss in effieciency the converting steps. Also for the large plant there may not be enough electricty available for the heat requirements.
If you do not believe the CEO that the plant is built for the future thats your opinion.
Using natural gas now is an easy conversion to Hydrogen which is gaining momentum.
