With reference to the notice on 6th of February regarding the temporary shutdown of Skive production, our inspection has revealed damage on the steel cone connecting the burner chamber with the flue gas heating box of the reactor. We have now initiated repair work and target to be back in production within mid-March. In close cooperation with third party experts,Quantafuel has now concluded on replacing the damaged steel cone with an improved solution. One burner chamber has already been transported to the selected subcontractor, and the next chamber will follow shortly. "We've had a period with high production and uptime, so the timing of this temporary shut-down is very unfortunate. On the other hand, I am pleased that the issue can be resolved without significant costs. I would like to underline that this issue is not related toQuantafuel's pyrolysis process or technology," saysQuantafuel's CEOLars Rosenløv . "Our team in Skive has handled this issue very well and I am pleased that we, together with third party experts, have initiated the repair work so quickly. We will use the downtime to perform preventive maintenance requiring a cold process," says Rosenløv. Additional technical information: The burner chamber and the connected flue gas system form the main heating elements for the process. The rotating pyrolysis reactor is surrounded and heated by the hot flue gas. There is no direct contact between the hydrocarbon gases formed in the reactors' pyrolysis process and the flue gas. -------------Quantafuel would like to invite investors, analysts and journalists for a call at12:30 CET today.
