Aduro Clean Technologies Inc. (CSE:ACT), a leader in clean technology, has announced the successful completion of the Basic Engineering Design phase for its Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (HCT) Next Generation Process (NGP) Pilot Plant. This milestone represents a significant advancement in Aduro’s journey to commercialize its innovative platform technology, which uses chemical processes to convert lower-value feedstocks such as waste plastics, heavy bitumen, and renewable oils into valuable resources.
With the NGP Pilot Plant on track to be completed in the third quarter of 2025, the Basic Engineering Design phase concludes years of extensive research and development, laying the foundation for the next stages of the project. Aduro has partnered with Zeton, a global leader in modular pilot and demonstration-scale plant design, to bring the vision for the NGP Pilot Plant to life. The collaboration with Zeton will focus on modularity and scalability, ensuring that the plant is adaptable to a wide range of feedstocks and operational needs.
The NGP Pilot Plant is expected to play a critical role in Aduro’s commercialization strategy. It will be used as a testing platform for the company's Hydrochemolytic™ Technology, initially focusing on simpler, more commercially viable feedstocks. This phased approach will provide valuable data and insights into the technology's capabilities while supporting Aduro's Customer Engagement Program. Additionally, the pilot plant will be a platform for testing and refining the technology for processing more challenging, hard-to-recycle, and lower-value feedstocks, which are at the heart of Aduro's long-term vision.
To further support the operational needs of the NGP Pilot Plant, Aduro has begun procuring critical long-lead equipment and making infrastructure enhancements at the plant site. These preparations will ensure the plant is ready for installation and commissioning.
The company is also expanding its laboratory and office space in London, Ontario, to accommodate the growing operational demands of the project and to support continued innovation within Aduro. The expanded facilities will provide the necessary space for research, development, and scaling efforts related to the Hydrochemolytic™ Technology.
“This milestone marks a pivotal step in Aduro’s journey to commercialize the Hydrochemolytic™ Technology platform,” said Ofer Vicus, CEO of Aduro. “It represents the realization of a unique solution to one of society’s most pressing challenges – the chemical recycling of hard-to-recycle plastic waste. The NGP Pilot Plant will serve as a testing ground for processing a variety of waste streams, providing invaluable operational data that will help refine our technology and scale it for full commercialization.”
