RE:Processing times

I understand that we can be a low cost provider, being able to produce 2 to 4N+ nano silicon with less input of raw material whist those materials are also lower grade, BUT its the RATE that is the sticking point for commericalization.
Sila makes a compelling battery grade silicon also well (coated with carbon for stablization) but is facing scale challanges due to production rate. (I recall a NR about HPQ also being able to coat its nano silicon in one step as well)
Do we have an advantage? Has this been discussed in detail? This information would be paramount...
Thanks to those kind folks who can provide insight!
Actually that info is not published yet on the NSiR reactor. But what helps me is looking at PYR tech/engineering on their capabilities it is really incredible. Bernard stated few times in interviews that they don't want to be just a supplier of silicon nano powders but The Supplier of silicon nano powders for EV battery space.
Here is glimpse of the incredible tech/engineering of PYR....bodes well for the extreme confidence:
The NexGen plasma atomization system
The new NexGen technology is intended as an upgrade to Pyrogenesis’ original Plasma Atomization Process (PAP), which the company invented back in 1995. Designed specifically to facilitate high production rates at low costs, NexGen is reportedly capable of producing metal 3D printing powders at a rate of over 25kg/h. Pyrogenesis claims the production line already has several ‘major top-tier’ aerospace clients sitting on the waiting list.
