Actually that is referring to the raw material feestock required to produce 1MT of Silicon. Note also Conventional process need 6 MT 99.5% SiO2 of Feedstock to produce 1 MT plus uses dirty GHG emitting low ash coal. Can't scale small like Purevap QRR as well...huge capex difference.
THE PUREVAPTM QRR: GAME CHANGING VERSATILITY VERSUS CONVENTIONAL PROCESS
Conventional plants: - Scalable by minimum increments of 30,000 MTY
- Minimum investment > US$ 200 M
- 2N+ Si production limited at 40% of plant output
- Requires additional purification steps for Battery use
- Need 6 MT 99.5% SiO2 of Feedstock to produce 1 MT plus uses dirty GHG emitting low ash coal
PUREVAPTM process: - Scalable by minimum increments of 2,500 MTY
- Minimum investment 85% - 90% less than conventional plant
- 4N+ Si production in one step Perfect for Battery application for less than raw silicon
- Need 4,5 MT 98.5%SiO2 of Feedstock to produce 1 MT
