Title:

Project Volcano

Agreement Number:

938487

Agreement Value:

$180,000.00

Agreement Date:

Oct 14, 2019 - Mar 31, 2020

Description:

Project Volcano involves the design of the feed subsystem for our atomization reactors. The key deliverable of this project is conversion of large low-cost ingots of feed alloy into inclusion-free molten metal, then metered into the high-efficiency pre-commercial "Yukon" reactor, currently in development. The system is nominally specified to feed 30kg of molten material/hr, at a level of purity not commercially available. The project will drive up our process longevity and reduce process downtime. Currently, our process involves costly cutting, machining, polishing and otherwise processing raw alloys that must be eliminated to improve the cost economics of our process.
