PyroGenesis was awarded by AFSOC the contracts to design, procure, fabricate, install, commission, start-up and operate the plant at Hurlburt Field. The initial contract was given on a turnkey basis, as the team was also responsible for the site preparation, building construction, environmental permitting and overall project management.

PyroGenesis successfully took base-generated waste and produced electricity from this waste, while generating slag. In doing so, PyroGenesis established a North American first, as being the first facility to use plasma gasification to generate energy from unsorted waste. This project has become the foundation for the scale-up of the PRRS technology to 100 metric tons per day.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
