Hazer Group Ltd (ASX:HZR) is pleased to announce the success of commissioning of the Company’s pre-pilot plant, located in St Marys in Western Sydney. This marks a significant inflexion point in Hazer’s development trajectory, with the pre-pilot plant now ready to commence the operational experimentation phase.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Commissioning of Pre-Pilot Plant now complete.
- Marks and important milestone in Hazers scale-up road map.
- Pre-Pilot Plant now ready to commence operational experimentation phase.
Furthermore, various process design and operational optimisation opportunities have already been identified during the commissioning phase, and will be progressed as part of ongoing operations of the pre-pilot plant.
Hazer Group Managing Director Geoff Pocock said: “This successful commissioning will now allow Hazer to continue its transition from laboratory-based development to functional industrial technology. The pre-pilot plant enables us to evaluate the performance of the Hazer Process at temperature, pressure and in a fluidised state and advance our development strategy to demonstrate our technology can operate at this scale and beyond.”
Once operational in fully continuous mode, the pre-pilot plant will be used to generate data necessary for the design and construction of Hazer’s next plant – a commercial prototype facility that is expected to be of a greater scale, ideally suited to the vehicle refuelling market.
