PyroGenesis is currently working with HPQ, and/or HPQ subsidiaries, in the following three broadly defined projects:

Key Points: 
  • PyroGenesis is currently working with HPQ, and/or HPQ subsidiaries, in the following three broadly defined projects:
    Converting Silica (Quartz, SiO2) into high purity silicon using PUREVAP QRR,
    Converting Silicon (Si) into Nano Silicon powders using PUREVAP NSIR.
  • The successful milestone announced today by HPQ relates to the conversion of silicon into Nano Silicon powders (project #2 above).
  • After experiencing certain delays relating to unexpected operating issues, PyroGenesis engineering team has been able to successfully produce nano silicon materials, and this represents a significant confirmation of the original assumptions underlying this project.
  • PyroGenesis last major milestone, prior to the delivery of its first nano silicon sample, is the completion of an optimization process on the samples produced, said Mr. Pierre Carabin, CTO and Chief Strategist of PyroGenesis.
