Voor de geïnteresseerden:
Aqua Metals heeft haar productie-probleem nu opgelost. 15 maart worden de jaarcijfers gepresenteerd, dat zal wellicht even pijn doen maar de vraag is hoeveel de koers er nog op gaat reageren.
In ieder geval zijn ze klaar (na 1 jaar vertraging) om volop in productie te gaan.
Hieronder het persbericht:
ALAMEDA, Calif., March 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aqua Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AQMS), (“Aqua Metals” or the “Company”), which is proceeding to commercialize its proprietary electrochemical lead recycling technology called AquaRefining™, today announced that it has completed the first 24 hour run of continuous operation of an AquaRefining module.
The module, which was retrofitted with the “sticky lead” solution that the Company is currently integrating into all modules, operated for 24 continuous hours for the first time. This 24-hour testing run produced approximately 2.4 metric tonnes of AquaRefined lead, which meets the Company’s objectives. Moreover, the module achieved this output using approximately 13% less energy than its design basis, in part as a result of the modifications developed to resolve the sticky lead issue.
The Company is working to complete the retro-fit of all 16 AquaRefining modules and ramp up production during 2018.
"I believe that this is an important milestone, which further validates our solution to the sticky lead issue we encountered previously. I believe it demonstrates our ability to solve challenging technical issues and, in this case, to generate potential benefits such as reduced AquaRefining energy, in doing so. We are proud of our team and look forward to completing the retrofit process for all 16 modules and scaling up production over the course of 2018," said Dr. Stephen Clarke, Chairman and CEO of Aqua Metals.ir.aquametals.com/press-releases/deta...
