PYR previous Factory Acceptance Test was successful Previously FAT was done in PYR facilities and was successfull. This time Peter who is obviously extremely busy appears that he will travel personally to Client A which we know is the giant VALE in Brazi who needs up to 500 torches! - He is NOT going to get a suntan.
"....I look forward to personally participating in the factory acceptance test. I believe this will prove to be a truly momentous occasion for the Company, and one which could potentially be a tipping point for PyroGenesis, as we position ourselves to be the go-to provider of plasma based GHG solutions." From September 2021 News Release :
Given recent sales, and the fact that the torches are expected to last 25-30 years, PyroGenesis has revised the estimated net present value (NPV) of each torch sale to be approx. $7MM (calculated based on 20-year life). This is an increase from previous disclosures wherein the Company estimated that each torch sale could represent a $3MM NPV to the Company. The original figure was based on very conservative estimates which projected the initial torch sale to be between $1-1.3MM with subsequent maintenance and spare parts contracts limited to 5 years.
Extremely exciting times!
Long and strong PYROGENESIS!!
