I believe the pain we have endured thanks to this rotary kiln could pay off big time.
Besides lowering costs of a Pristine-M commercial module while increasing its efficiency, the kiln’s higher temperatures will allow from maximum extraction of byproducts, including rare-earths, which is an essential element of future-gen Pristine-SA technology. It also opens up funding opportunities for the University's research into products from coal and rare-earths. From what I understand, any patents resulting from this research that utilizes our test plant will belong to the UW, but CCTI will be granted an exclusive license which could open up new revenue streams. $$$
Pristine-SA strips all byproducts from coal leaving a "clean" carbon and hydrogen product that can be combined with torrefied biomass for the lowest possible CO2 emissions, co-fired with natural gas, or used as an ultra-clean coal for a wide variety of applications. This is the future; the "Holy Grail" of clean coal. If the kiln helps us get there, then all of the delays and financial pain it has caused will have been worth it.
