(“PowerHouse” or
the “Company”)
Completion of
G3-UHt Testing Program
PowerHouse Energy Group, plc is pleased to announce the
completion of its system-wide testing program for the G3-UHt Unit
in Brisbane,
Australia.
“This is a significant milestone for the Company, “ said
Keith Allaun, Executive Chairman of
PowerHouse. “We’ve been stress-testing all components of the
G3, in a discrete and focused manner, over the past several
months. Based upon our most recent operation of the complete
system, we’ve reached the point that we can declare the successful
conclusion of our formal testing program.”
The PowerHouse Energy Group ultra-high temperature gasification
reactor testing program has utilized feedstock which has included
both shredded plastic and tyre crumble, and has successfully cycled
the system repeatedly. The nominal 1-3 tonne per day (TPD) G3 unit
has continued to operate as designed; gasifying the feedstock at
temperatures above 1100 degrees Centigrade, generating synthesis
gas (syngas), and cleaning and cooling the syngas, which can then
be used for electrical generation or other fuel creation.
Concurrent with the testing of the G3, the company has completed
the initial design and engineering plans of 100 TPD gasification
modules, allowing for the easy bundling of the modules into 400 TPD
systems. Designed to operate in-line with each other, expansion of
the systems is a linear step-function that enables the PowerHouse
technology to be rolled-out into existing commercial Transfer
Station and Land-Fill operations. This modular design can
substantially expand the commercial opportunities for
PowerHouse.
“The rigorous process that the team has just completed, coupled
with the engineering data that has been captured, has put us in a
position to begin progressing commercial discussions with a number
of parties over the next several months,” stated Allaun.
The new G3 system will be permanently housed in a transportable
container for shipment to sites throughout the world for on-site
operation, demonstration, and data collection purposes. Once
installed into its in-situ operational container, and prior to
shipment to prospective sites, additional third-party engineering
validation will occur, and other feedstocks will be tested.
As earlier announced, the Company is beginning recruitment
efforts to expand its commercial team in both the UK and in
Australia.
