Future business.

What is the life expectancy of a torch.  Will we see replacement orders every 7 years? This is in addition to annual maintainance income.  We are seeing the beginning of a money machine

“Thirty-six (36) is too exact a number to be random,” said P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis. “What is important today is that we can now confirm that the Client has not only identified the specific furnace to initiate a possible change-out, but has actually identified the burners to be replaced, and is now moving to the next steps.
