The system is then used to destroy ozone depleting substances.

Key Points: 
  • The system is then used to destroy ozone depleting substances.
  • This high-power steam torch system is used in PyroGenesis SPARC technology, a patented PyroGenesis process designed to destroy ozone depleting substances such as end-of-life (EOL) refrigerants like CFCs, HCFs, and HFCs, which have high global warming potential (GWP).
  • EOL refrigerants are potent greenhouse gases with a GWP that can be thousands of times greater than carbon dioxide (CO2).
  • This patent represents a key milestone as we roll out our SPARC technology; a technology which is specifically geared to reducing ozone depleting substances, said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis.
