PyroGenesis Confirms Receipt of $445,200 Milestone Payment for SPARC Land-Based Waste Destruction System - Seite 2

PyroGenesis’ proprietary SPARC system uses inexpensive steam as the plasma-forming gas to generate a hydrolysis reaction which efficiently destroys refrigerants and ozone-depleting substances. It offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for the safe disposal of hazardous waste materials. The SPARC plasma-based system offers a substantial reduction in the operator's carbon footprint, while effectively eliminating ozone-depleting substances. Its versatility extends beyond solid waste, as it can also effectively destroy a variety of other chemicals, including CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, halons and PFCs.

The Company’s involvement in the destruction of ozone depleting refrigerant substances using its patented SPARC system is part of PyroGenesis’ three-tiered solution ecosystem that aligns with economic drivers that are key to global heavy industry. Solid and hazardous waste destruction is part of the Company’s Waste Remediation tier, where it ensures a safe destruction of hazardous materials, and the recovery and valorization of underlying substances such as chemicals and minerals.
