Hazer Group Limited provided the market with an update on the construction of the company's pre-pilot plant facility and the ongoing scale-up stages and timelines. Hazer has now commenced the construction of its pre-pilot facility. This plant is a key stage in the development of the Hazer process, and is the first stage in Hazer's transition from laboratory-based standard equipment to a custom-designed and constructed plant. This pre-pilot plant is significantly more advanced than the laboratory based equipment, and the progressive operation of this system will provide key information required to verify the final design of the next plant (small commercial pilot plant). The key improvements at full function compared to the previous stage are: Multiple processing methods of operation and operational flexibility; High pressure, temperature and gas flow capability to allow for full system optimization; Upgraded graphite capture system to allow for greater extraction efficiency; Capability to eject graphite during operation; Capability to inject catalyst into the system during operation.
