EarthRenew Commences Detailed Engineering Work for the Redesign of Its Strathmore Facility
May 19 2020 - 7:00AM
EarthRenew Inc. (CSE:ERTH) (“EarthRenew” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce the commencement of detailed engineering work
for the redevelopment of its Strathmore facility. Engineering
work is expected to be completed in four months time, to be
followed by construction and commissioning in the second half of
2020, provided that the Company secures sufficient funding.
This timeline is expected to allow EarthRenew to deliver fertilizer
products for the spring 2021 planting season.
EarthRenew has entered into a contract for
engineering services with Laporte Engineering Inc. (“Laporte”) to
redevelop the fertilizer plant in Strathmore, Alberta. The
engineering services and construction and commissioning of the
Strathmore facility are expected to cost between $7.8 and $8.0
million. The retrofit facility is projected to be capable of
producing 10 tonnes of finished product per hour across multiple
organic fertilizer product formulations. The first phase of the
project will include CCm Technologies’ (“CCm”) bolt-on processing
technology to increase nitrogen content for a higher value
fertilizer (see the Company’s press release dated April 2, 2020,
which is available under EarthRenew’s SEDAR profile at
www.sedar.com and www.theCSE.com).
EarthRenew’s CEO, Keith Driver, commented,
“Laporte is a Canadian engineering firm with international reach
that specializes in industrial engineering. We anticipate
that their focus on prioritizing the manufacturing production goals
and process needs during the design phase will ensure that the
Strathmore facility will be efficient and sustainable. We
believe that the Laporte team’s experience designing complex
industrial applications will help us to perfect the EarthRenew
production process and we are looking forward to getting
started.”
