It sounds very similar 
Maybe it means something, maybe not

More important on the IOC site under decarbonising it still says 

We’re trialling a plasma burner in one of our furnaces – the first of its kind, which could help us eliminate heavy fuel oil (bunker-C) from the pelletizing process. Through

Might be a Looong Stretch attrmpting to connect the job postings, especially with Boiler Projrct WIP (Work-in-Progress) -- FYI:: Are U Aware ? Rio Tinto IOC and Government of Canada partner to decarbonize iron ore processing in Labrador West   The company will install an electric boiler to displace emissions from the usage of the heavy fuel oil boilers, as well as

Furtherance to my Previous Post::  It Would be nice to get a more insightful update from Clients A , B , C Even if RT were to only order initial 23 Torches -at this juncture , actually guess it would now be 19 as they have 4 already... * it still remains to be seen if RT's Massive Electric Arc Furnace will Perform up to expectations & achieve quality results... ** don't forget

Client B is progressing with the SAT, from the recent Q2 Results and Outlook: Revenues for Torch-related products and services amounted to $2,792,009. And from the Outlook section: Client B remains committed to the trials and additional process steps are being designed to account for the client’s particular mechanical and environmental risk variables. Keep in mind these are

BContV Thx  -- but IMO What Matters Most above All is the End Product !  Processes & Operations can be re-worked & tweaked... So let me Clarify::  It would be really nice to hear if the End Product was similar / equal to current quality or better ! Once the End Product Quality is there Other Metrics can potentially be more accurately estimated & adjusted as needed...

Keep in mind PyroGenesis' APT-HP High-power plasma torch received the Solar Impulse Foundation award for the “Solar Impulse Efficient Solution” (for replacing fossil fuel burners).   The Foundation’s purpose is to identify existing solutions that are both clean, profitable, and having a positive impact on quality of life. https://solarimpulse.com/companies/pyrogenesis-canada-inc

Really BCONT? I understand that you're excited about the company's prospects, but don't you think the news you've posted from December 2020 is a bit stale? At the very least, Im sure we can assume it's been discounted in the market by now.

Not Torch End Product -- Client End Product ! 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....

Client 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

Kool Beans Great Info ! -- as Others have said here previously it's not a matter of 'if' but "When" !!!
