PyroGenesis is the world leader in the design, development, manufacturing and commercialization of advanced plasma processes. We provide engineering and manufacturing expertise, cutting-edge contract research, as well as turnkey process equipment packages to the defense, metallurgical, mining, advanced materials, oil & gas, and environmental industries. With a team of experienced PyroClassTMengineers, scientists and technicians working out of our Montreal office and our 3,800 m2 manufacturing facility, PyroGenesis maintains its competitive advantage by remaining at the forefront of technology development and commercialization. Our core competencies allow PyroGenesis to lead the way in providing innovative plasma torches, waste processes, high-temperature metallurgical processes, and engineering services to the global marketplace. Our operations are ISO 9001:2008 certified, and have been since 1997. PyroGenesis is a publicly-traded Canadian company on the TSX Venture Exchange (Ticker Symbol PYR.V).
Plasma is the fourth state of matter, the others being solid, liquid, and gas. Plasma typically consists of a mixture of ionized species, electrons and neutral particles. The sun is made up of plasma with inside temperature reaching 10,000,000 degrees Celcius. In nature, we can observe plasma in lightning strikes and with the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). Examples of man-made plasma include the light produced by a neon tube, as well as plasma cutting systems used to slice through metal. Thermal plasma can readily reach temperatures in excess of 10,000 degrees Celcius. At PyroGenesis, we harness the unique properties of thermal plasma to melt and transform metal, to carry out high temperature chemical reactions and to convert waste into energy.
PyroGenesis has become the partner of choice for the US Department of Defense and other multinationals as their technology development resource for waste processing and waste-to-energy applications. Yet, at its roots, PyroGenesis was an advanced material and metallurgical company first!
For example, PyroGenesis did some pioneering processing work in the field of fullerenes (buckyball), the forerunning materials for what we now know as carbon nanotubes and graphene. All this work was performed before the term “nanotechnology” became part of our everyday vernacular.
PyroGenesis also used plasma and HVOF techniques to apply thermal spray coatings onto aerospace and engine parts, as well as severe service ball valves. PyroGenesis also used its proprietary plasma atomization process to produce highly pure, spherical titanium and titanium alloy powders, now the standard feedstock for 3D Printing applications.
With plasma operating on “greenhouse gas-friendly” electricity only, PyroGenesis can provide real cleantech solutions to industry. Through innovation, collaboration and partnerships, our PyroClassTM team of innovators have developed an array of plasma processing approaches which can bring value to organizations in the fields of mineral, metallurgical and materials processing, in areas such as:
