10 business days10 business days until the expected commissioning of the 5X PGX scale-up. CZO has required a 100X PGX scale-up to get to a large-scale 1000L PGX facility. 100X is a big leap. If the 5X scale-up is successfully commissioned only a 20X scale-up will be needed to get to a 1000L facility. 20X isn't as daunting as 100X. If the 10X PGX scale-up is successfully commissioned by the end of Q3 only a 10X scale-up will be required to get to a 1000L large-scale PGX faclity. This year we could go from requiring a 100X PGX scale-up to only requiring a 10X scale-up to get to a 1000L facility and in going from 10L to 100L CZO will have demonstrated a 10X scale-up. The news release with Natex in November said: "NATEX are experts at design and construction of full-scale commercial plants based on the 100L scale."
The 100L facility expected to be commissioned by Q3 is also expected to allow small-scale commercial production. That establishes a new precedent for PGX. The 50L ffacility expected to be commissioned this month will allow for potential partners to use PGX materials for formulation, and testing.
With the capital from the AEZS merger and human resources what kind of PGX deals could CZO enter now as it approaches the decision point for mass industrialization this year with Natex and reaches small-scale limited production? Ronnie Miller is "thrilled" with the merger.
