Charbone Corporation (TSXV: CH; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47) has provided updates on the Phase 1B construction of its clean ultra-high purity (UHP) hydrogen plant in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec, and the installation of metrology equipment for on-site batch purity testing. The company aims to make its upgraded production capacity operational during the upcoming fall.
Heavy civil construction equipment has arrived on-site, and Charbone’s general contractor and subcontractor teams have begun work. Surveyors have completed all necessary site markings for the construction of production areas in preparation for the arrival of production equipment in the upcoming weeks and construction of the operation and maintenance building. This marks the official initiation of the Phase 1B construction stage, encompassing the comprehensive readying of technological infrastructure and the placement of foundational structures required for subsequent assembly of primary equipment.
Additionally, a cutting-edge gas chromatography system has been deployed by a world-renowned firm specializing in life sciences, diagnostics, and applied markets. This system, specifically engineered for high-purity hydrogen analysis, will identify traces of impurities and guarantee purity gas compliance with relevant standards. As a result, Charbone’s stringent purity benchmarks will become easily accessible, aiming to enhance sales among customers who require effective testing solutions.
“Our upgraded operations in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec, Canada, represent another cornerstone of our strategic growth and our commitment toward our shareholders and customers to a world class unique plant in its kind,” said Dave Gagnon, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Charbone. “We are proud to be a leader in high purity gases, fostering innovation and creating opportunities as we expand our sustainable practices.”
