RE:Successful Completion of its Torch Factory Acceptance Test Note this part of the NR:
“Successful completion of this FAT marks a significant milestone, not only for PyroGenesis and its clients, but also for all those involved in high temperature applications, specifically in the steel industry where we seem to be making our mark. We expect the next 6 months to be extremely exciting for everyone involved as all parties finally see that the goal line is in sight.” Keep in mind that PyroGenesis is involved with Tata Steel with Pyro Green Gas (AirScience Technologies acquisition) and was recently awarded a consulting contract with Tata Steel.
Long and Strong in PyroGenesis!

MONTREAL, Feb. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (https://pyrogenesis.com) (NASDAQ: PYR) (TSX: PYR) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech Company (hereinafter referred to as the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”), that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced plasma processes and sustainable solutions to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs), is pleased to announce today that, further to its press release dated January 27, 2022, it has completed the factory acceptance test (“FAT”) of its 1-MW plasma torch, for the iron ore pelletization industry, with Client A (the “Client”). This successful FAT was conducted at PyroGenesis’ manufacturing facility in Montreal in the presence of the Client.
With the FAT process now successfully completed, and officially approved by Client A, the plasma torch system will now be shipped to the Client’s facility before the end of Q1 2022. PyroGenesis expects the plasma torch to arrive, on or about, the end of Q2 2022. The torch will then be installed in Client A’s induration furnace, replacing the dirty fossil fuel burner currently in place. The installation should take approximately 3 to 4 weeks, after which a Site Acceptance Test (SAT) will be performed. The SAT is scheduled to be completed before the end of July 2022. Both the installation and the SAT will be conducted by Client A, and supervised by PyroGenesis personnel. Between the arrival of PyroGenesis’ proprietary 1 MW plasma torch at the Client’s site and the SAT, there will be a number of tasks that will need to be completed (such as the training of local personnel by PyroGenesis staff).
“The long-awaited FAT has finally been completed, and we are proud to announce today that we have successfully passed this important milestone. The torch will now be shipped to the client’s facility where it will be installed, and where the SAT is scheduled to be performed before the end of July 2022. This important milestone brings us that much closer to our ultimate goal of providing clean plasma torches to the iron ore pelletization industry in their quest to replace dirty fossil fuel burners,” said P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis. “Successful completion of this FAT marks a significant milestone, not only for PyroGenesis and its clients, but also for all those involved in high temperature applications, specifically in the steel industry where we seem to be making our mark. We expect the next 6 months to be extremely exciting for everyone involved as all parties finally see that the goal line is in sight.”
