MONTREAL, Nov. 14, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Ecolomondo
Corporation (TSXV: ECM) ("Ecolomondo" or the
"Company"), is pleased to announce that it has received the
CSA certification from the Canadian Standards Association (the
"CSA") on its flare system following completion of a
technical and safety audit. It is important to note that the
Régie des Batiments du Québec (the "RBQ") sets the
standards on high pressure vessels and all gas equipment and uses
the CSA to perform on-site verification. The Contrecoeur facility operated by Ecolomondo
uses compressors, high pressure vessels, burners, heat exchangers
and flares that all fall under the jurisdiction of the RBQ.
All apparatus and equipment that are being used by Ecolomondo at
the Contrecoeur facility, as part
of the Thermal Decomposition Process (the "TDP"), as this
term is defined below have now been approved and certified by CSA
on behalf of the RBQ. This is an important step to achieve partial
commercial readiness of Ecolomondo's Contrecoeur facility.
The flare system is part of the safety features of the Thermal
Decomposition Process (the "TDP"). It is the apparatus that
creates and maintains a small flame that stays on similar to a gas
stove. During the process, if the operator has to evacuate the
reactor urgently because of a buildup of reactor pressure of
hydrocarbons, he will do so by sending the hydrocarbons to the
stack. The flare will ignite the hydrocarbons so that they will
burn rather than having them condensed into liquid form and falling
to the ground.
Furthermore, as part of the process to commercialize the
Contrecoeur facility, Ecolomondo
is pleased to announce that it has acquired equipment to improve
the quality of its recycled carbon black resulting from the TDP
process. This post processing equipment will further improve the
quality of the recycled carbon black by lowering the ash content
inherent in all recycled carbon blacks resulting from pyrolitic
platforms.
Post processing of the recycled carbon black is another
important step that brings Ecolomondo's Contrecoeur facility closer to partial
commercialization by January 2018.
The Contrecoeur TDP facility is an industrial-scale facility
consisting of two industrial-size reactors located in Contrecoeur, Québec. Each reactor in the
facility has the capacity to treat approximately 19.5 tons of tire
waste per day. Partial commercialization of the Contrecoeur facility is expected to be one
batch of 6.5 tons per day. Ecolomondo expects to garner attention
to its TDP technology by using the Contrecoeur facility as a showpiece, pending
the completion of its anticipated Hawkesbury facility.
About Ecolomondo Corporation
Ecolomondo is a development stage clean tech company that has
designed, engineered and developed a thermo-reaction process using
a pyrolytic platform that converts hydrocarbon waste into
marketable commodity end-products, namely carbon black substitute,
oil, gas and steel. Ecolomondo plans to manufacture turnkey
facilities based on this technology platform and sell them to
clients, and collect royalties from their operation, or operate
them through wholly or jointly-owned subsidiaries.
Ecolomondo's process is a Canadian developed green technology,
called TDP. TDP is a comprehensive, effective and green solution
that could achieve commercial acceptance while reducing the need to
landfill. The TDP platform operates under positive pressure, in the
absence of oxygen and with very low emissions. Ecolomondo considers
its automated process to be safe, robust and environmentally
friendly.
Ecolomondo believes its TDP process extracts added value from
hydrocarbon waste, and more precisely scrap tires, when compared to
other technologies and other methods of recycling. Ecolomondo
anticipates an abundant and continuous supply of waste feedstock to
be available due to the growing consumption by an expanding
population, the emerging markets and changing environmental
concerns and regulation, in particular, the need to reduce
landfilling. Ecolomondo hopes to become an industry leader in the
treatment of these types of hydrocarbon waste in a near future.
