Hazer Group – Heat exchanger (800HT) successfully installed at CDP, to produce hydrogen and graphitic carbon, in 2023.
Hazer Group Ltd (“Hazer” or “the Company”) (ASX: HZR) provide an update on the Company’s Commercial Demonstration Plant (“CDP”). The Company confirms that the CDP remains on schedule to commence Phase 2 of its operation (‘hot operations’), to produce hydrogen and graphitic carbon, in 2023.
Procurement activities have materially progressed further de-risking the start-up schedule:
- Following successful heat-treatment (ref. announcement 31st July 2023), the replacement heat
exchanger has now been shipped to site and successfully installed at the CDP completing a
significant milestone for the project as it approaches mechanical completion. - The hot reactor main fabrication assembly is in the final stages, shortly enabling the commencement
of final machining and heat treatment prior to delivery and installation, bringing remaining equipment
procurement to a close
The reactor furnace has completed pre-commissioning checks and has been successfully energised to over 300 degrees Celsius in line with the initial testing procedures. Vendor confirmation was completed to further verify all systems are operating correctly, enabling a portion of the commissioning to be completed ahead of schedule.
The remaining hot piping fabrication being carried out by Callidus is also near completion and will be transported to the CDP for installation shortly.
Glenn Corrie, Hazer’s MD & CEO said:
We continue to make great progress in the final stages of our CDP completion and the installation of the replacement heat-exchanger is another significant milestone that materially de-risks the project schedule.
“Hazer has a critical role to play decarbonising global hard-to-abate industry with our advanced low-cost and game-changing technology. Our CDP is a key pillar in our commercialisation strategy demonstrating our technology on an industrial scale under continuous operation in readiness for commercial deployment, an exciting time for Hazer.”
