When I replied to a question about the pilot plant, I used the term pilot equipment instead of the term pilot plant, and that seems to have been enough to confuse some people.

The reasons for this started with the following information published in our August 2, 2016 press release, and more specifically the underlined sentence.

FURTHER DETAILS PERTAINING TO PILOT PLANT

This agreement is for the design, fabrication, assembly, commissioning and testing of a 200 metric ton/year PUREVAP™ QVR pilot plant.  The design, fabrication and assembly period for the pilot plant is expected to take 12 to 16 months, after which the pilot plant will undergo a commissioning phase expected to last an additional 2 months, with a final testing period expected to last 10 months.  The pilot plant will initially be installed at PyroGenesis’ facility in Montreal, Canada, and upon completion of the testing period, the pilot plant will be relocated to a permanent production site, chosen by HPQ Silicon.

Since then, in our public disclosure we used the terms Pilot Plant, but since the pilot plant will initially be installed and operated at PyroGenesis facility by PyroGenesis before been relocated to a permanent HPQ site, we should have used the term pilot equipment as a reference to the time period when the pilot plant will be at PyroGenesis under their control. 

So to be clear from now on when we use the terms pilot equipment, we are talking about the 200 tonnes per year pilot plant at PyroGenesis plant.
