Hazer Group Ltd ( (ASX: HZR) remains on schedule to commence Phase 2 of its operations to produce hydrogen and graphitic carbon, in 2023.
The fabrication of the hot reactor has now been completed following successful machining to the required specification and heat-treatment marking a significant milestone for Hazer’s CDP. The reactor has passed all final quality checks and is being transferred from the Callidus workshop in Perth to the CDP location for installation and hook-up. The installation is scheduled to be completed by mid-November and will signify the end of the CDP construction phase and the commencement of the commissioning and start-up period.
The reactor completion is a significant milestone in Hazer’s technology advancement and a key component of the CDP which is designed to demonstrate the viability of the company’s technology for commercial deployment. The results from the CDP performance testing plan will be leveraged into Hazer’s global commercial project portfolio.
The excitement is growing at the CDP site as we approach the commissioning phase of this groundbreaking technology. While the final stages of fabrication took a couple of weeks longer than we had anticipated, it was important to ensure the machining and heat treatment processes were performed to the highest standards to meet the specification required by the technology,” Hazer’s MD & CEO Glenn Corrie said:
“Seeing the reactor completed has been a long-awaited milestone, I appreciate the efforts of all parties involved as this was one of the more difficult aspects of this journey to execute. We can now shift our focus to on the next step of bringing the CDP online this year as planned.”
