Hazer Group confirms that the Commercial Demonstration Plant (CDP) remains on schedule to commence Phase 2 of its operation (‘hot operations’), to produce hydrogen and graphitic carbon, in 2023.
Following the successful installation of the heat-exchanger equipment, the remaining reactor fabrication and site installation activities have materially progressed.
The hot reactor main welding works and the critical conditioning step of post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) have been completed, marking a major milestone in the hot reactor fabrication process. Successful non-destructive testing (NDT) has been performed, before and after the heat-treatment, confirming the fabrication quality required for service has been achieved. The hot reactor body has now commenced final machining and assembly, before being shipped to site in the coming weeks.
