Ecolomondo Corporation has successfully processed its first thermal decomposition batch with its new reactor installed at its recently built Hawkesbury TDP facility. Ecolomondo performed on January 11, 2023, a first batch in Reactor 1 with complete success. Every part of the thermal reaction, reactor evacuation and control systems worked flawlessly and according to expectations.

Ecolomondo's technical and production teams were on site to perform the batch, first ever of the latest generation reactor. This successful outcome is not surprising as Ecolomondo developed its proprietary technology over 25 years at its Contrecoeur (Quebec) pilot plant. The pilot plant consists of 2 industrial-size reactors that were developed and tested over many years, providing key data for setting technical specifications and developing all parameters required to obtain high quality end-products.

The pilot plant and the hundreds of tests set the groundwork for the Hawkesbury commercial TDP facility. Considering that all other sectors of the Hawkesbury TDP facility have been commissioned, Ecolomondo expects to begin its start-up stage immediately with ramp-up production to soon begin, leading gradually to full commercial operations.
