PyroGenesis Announces Milestone Reached for Fumed Silica Reactor Project

Pilot Plant Construction Commences with Anticipated Q2 2024 Commissioning

MONTREAL, Feb. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX: PYR) (OTCQX: PYRGF) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced plasma processes and sustainable solutions which are geared to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) and address environmental pollutants, is pleased to announce that, further to HPQ Silicon Inc’s (“HPQ” or the “Client”) press release dated today, and the Company’s own news releases dated November 9, 2023 and January 11, 2024, the next milestone for pilot plant development has been reached.

The Fumed Silica Reactor (FSR) technology project is being conducted in conjunction with HPQ Silica Polvere Inc. (“HPQ Polvere”), a wholly owned subsidiary of HPQ. With the engineering design having concluded, major fabrication ending, and all additional peripheral materials having been ordered, the 50 tonnes per year (TPY) FSR pilot plant is now entering the construction phase.

The FSR pilot plant will be constructed within a dedicated space inside PyroGenesis’ facilities, with a custom-designed infrastructure that meets the pilot plant’s unique ventilation, safety, and access requirements. A 4,000 sq ft facility with a 30-foot height allowance has been allocated to house the pilot plant, which itself has an approximate layout footprint of 50ft by 30ft.

Fumed silica is a moisture-absorbing white microstructure powder with high surface area and low bulk density. Used most often as a thickening agent, anti-caking agent, and stabilizer to improve the texture and consistency of products, the commercial applications of fumed silica can be found in many industries across thousands of product lines, including – but not limited to – personal care, powdered food, pharmaceuticals, agriculture (food & feed), adhesives, paints, sealants, construction, batteries and automotive.

The FSR converts quartz into fumed silica (also known as Pyrogenic Silica) in a single and eco-friendly step while eliminating the use of harmful chemicals generated by conventional methods.[2] The FSR, if successful, could provide a groundbreaking contribution to the repatriation of silica production to North America.

The FSR pilot plant is being developed by PyroGenesis with a 50 tonne per year output capacity. In addition, recent results (refer to the Company’s news release dated January 11, 2024) from an internal economic and technical study, which was carried out at the request of a third-party who requested confidentiality, confirmed the viability of, and advantages from, the eventual scale up to a 1,000 tonne per year commercial configuration. These advantages included potential EBIDTA margins three times higher than the industry average of 20%, and a capital investment 93% less than that required for building a conventional fumed silica plant.[1]

“This development milestone initiates the construction phase of what we believe to be a truly innovative approach to producing one of industry’s most in-demand materials”, said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, CEO and President of PyroGenesis. “Conventional fumed silica processes, which rely on silicon metal (Si) as raw material, not only have a significant carbon footprint of around 9.5 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per tonne of fumed silica, but also present complex process challenges which include, but are not limited to, using hazardous materials.[2] The technology developed by PyroGenesis for HPQ Polvere is designed to offer significant economic and environmental advantages over conventional manufacturers – improving profitability, but also reducing the environmental footprint and reducing the harmful chemicals associated with traditional fumed silica production.”

The fumed silica market, valued at US$1.3 billion in 2022, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% to reach US$2.1 billion by 2032. Fumed silica sales accounted for almost 23% of the global specialty silica market at the end of 2021. [3]

HPQ Signs Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with Industrial Group to Explore Fumed Silica Plant Joint Venture

Zitat von Oginvest: MONTREAL, Canada - January 31, 2024 - HPQ Silicon Inc. (“HPQ” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: HPQ) (OTCQB: HPQFF) (FRA: O08), a technology company specializing in green engineering of silica and silicon-based materials, is pleased to update its shareholders that it signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with an undisclosed party related to its Fumed Silica initiative.

Following our press release of January 10, 2024, we were approached by an Industrial Group interested in assessing the commercial potential of our Fumed Silica Reactor (FSR) process.

To facilitate more formal discussions, HPQ’s wholly owned subsidiary, HPQ Silica Polvere Inc. (HPQ Polvere), along with the technology provider and equipment supplier, PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (TSX: PYR) (OTCQX: PYRGF) (FRA: 8PY) (PyroGenesis) signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) [1] with the Industrial Group.

The purpose of the NDA is twofold:

First, it will enable both parties, HPQ Polvere and the Industrial Group, to conduct mutual due diligence and
Second, it will enable both parties to assess the commercial and economic potential for a more formal collaboration regarding the construction and operation of a 1,000 tonnes per year (TPY) Fumed Silica Reactor to be built by PyroGenesis.

“The NDA, stands as tangible proof of the commercial interest in the potential of our proprietary Fumed Silica Reactor technology,” said Mr. Bernard Tourillon, President and CEO of HPQ Silica Polvere Inc. and HPQ Silicon Inc. “While, at this stage, we have no guarantee that a formal commercial venture will emerge from these discussions, we are immensely encouraged by the ongoing talks.

PYROGENESIS RECEIVES $667K NON-REFUNDABLE DOWN PAYMENT UNDER A MASTER AGREEMENT FOR MULTI-YEAR MULTI-PLASMA TORCH PURCHASES

PDF Version
MONTREAL, Jan. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX: PYR) (OTCQX: PYRGF) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced plasma processes and sustainable solutions which are geared to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) and address environmental pollutants, is pleased to announce that, further to the Company’s previous disclosure in the Q3 2023 financial outlook dated November 9, 2023 regarding ongoing negotiations for a contract valued at over $10 million, PyroGenesis has now received a non-refundable down payment totaling $667,252 (US$500,000) from a US-based technology company (the “Client”). The Client’s name shall remain anonymous for competitive and confidential reasons.

This non-refundable down payment is made pursuant to a recently signed Master Agreement between PyroGenesis and the Client and provides for a period of exclusivity until February 15, 2024, during which the Client expects to secure financing and complete a first statement of work (“SOW”) with PyroGenesis. The Master Agreement provides that, during this exclusivity period, PyroGenesis and the Client will work collaboratively with the goal of finalizing and executing this initial SOW, which would outline the terms that PyroGenesis would design, build, and deliver five (5) high power 2MW air plasma torch systems for an aggregate price of approximately US$13 million. The Master Agreement contemplates additional SOWs being entered into for the purchase of torches, related equipment, and services.

“This nonrefundable down payment is a significant step towards concluding the first SOW under the Master Agreement, a contract which anticipates many more SOWs to come,” said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “Provided the Client receives adequate financing, this contract has the potential to be a springboard from which PyroGenesis introduces a significant number of plasma torches into the marketplace. These direct sales would have an obvious impact on revenues and profitability, but they would also speak to our strategy to develop ongoing revenue streams from activities such as maintenance and spare parts sales. As industries increasingly seek efficient alternatives to fossil fuel-based systems, PyroGenesis’ electric and carbon-free plasma torches continue to be proven as not just a highly suitable alternative, but also a potentially faster and more cost-effective solution.”

The Company’s development of plasma torches is part of the Company’s three-tiered solution ecosystem that aligns with economic drivers that are key to global heavy industry. The use of plasma torches is part of the Energy Transition & Emission Reduction tier, where fuel switching to the Company’s electric-powered plasma torches helps heavy industry reduce fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions.
