RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:PYR and IOCClient B is moving along with their SAT. The work that PyroGenesis is doing with Constellium has yielded impressive results:
Very impressive the results from PYR's study/paper (done in conjunction with Constellium) on the use of plasma torches for Decarbonization of Aluminum Reverberatory Furnaces: The Case of Plasma Melting: Carbon footprint comparison of different heating methods: Effect of plasma gas nature on the time to melt the aluminum charge: Note that the test that PyroGenesis did for Constellium not only demonstrate the efficacy of this innovative approach but also confirmed the accuracy of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model that PYR has developed. Constellium is a big company and very impressive what they do. Note that Constellium sent PYR a furnace to test/use for this study. For them to have taken such a decision shows they are convinced of the benefits of using plasma torches in these furnaces. https://www.constellium.com/ We are Constellium: Constellium is a global leader in the development, manufacturing, and recycling of aluminium products and solutions. We design and manufacture advanced alloys and engineered solutions for a range of applications, such as beverage cans, cars, airplanes, and more. Our story dates back more than a century, but our mission remains the same: to create game-changing aluminium solutions for a circular and sustainable economy and a brilliant new day. And:
Looks like the work that PyroGenesis and Constellium is paying off, from the Outlook/MD&A section from PYR's annual results/report: Also as mentioned in the Q2 2023 and Q3 2023 Outlooks, the Company has been working with a number of different companies over the past few years towards these goals. The results from the conclusion of recent major tests, conducted in conjunction with these companies, have been very positive, and negotiations are underway for next step deployments and/or sales, with more detailed announcements on these projects expected during Q2 2024. Aluminum Furnace Tests: The Company is in final discussions with two (2) major aluminum companies for live furnace tests of plasma as a process heat source in melting and holding furnaces. If confirmed, these companies will each ship aluminum furnaces to PyroGenesis for installation at PyroGenesis’ factory, where plasma will be tested within the furnaces as a potential replacement for natural gas. These tests are similar to furnace tests that occurred during 2023 on site at PyroGenesis with another client, but these new potential tests will be conducted using larger furnaces. Aluminum Cast House Decarbonization: The Company is part of a tendered bid process for the testing of plasma within an aluminum cast house of a leading global aluminum company.

Would be Nice to know if Client's End Product is Comparable or Better ? -- i believe for Clients A, B, C it's Refined Ore for Shipping to Steel & Other Producers ...
So if Torches perform just as good or better than Fuel or Gas in Producing the Refined Ore that would be Great Achievement....
